Lena Dunham rushed to the hospital after the 2017 Met Gala

Soon after Lena Dunham hit the 2017 Met Gala red carpet in a gorgeous gown, the "Girls" star was rushed to the hospital.

The 30-year-old actress experienced complications from her endometriosis and needed medical help. She is reportedly now at home and is doing well.

Dunham's latest scare comes after several surgeries --- five to be exact -- to end her chronic pain. The actress has been very public about her battle with the condition in which tissue that normally lines the uterus grows outside of it.

"My surgery went off without a hitch," she said of her April surgery in her latest newsletter. "When I emerged, cotton-mouthed, Randy told me something I hadn't expected to hear, maybe ever: there was no endometriosis left. Between my surgeries and hormonal intervention, I was disease-free. That doesn't mean it can never return, but for now, once my sutures have been removed and my bruises have changed from blue to yellow to green to gone, I will be healthy."

Since she was diagnosed with endometriosis, Lena and her doctors have tried every non-surgical option possible -- from yoga to a holistic diet. Her recent weight loss, which Dunham revealed she was "thin-shamed" for, was the result of her drastic change in diet.

Dunham's Met Gala appearance comes a couple of weeks after the series finale of "Girls," the HBO show that catapulted her to fame. While the show's finale isn't your typical happy ending, Dunham said that was exactly the point:

"Our show's never been about the traditional, tidy wrap-up," Lena said.
