Twitch star Imane “Pokimane” Anys has updated the community about her health via a new YouTube video. On November 4, 2024, the OfflineTV (OTV) co-founder shared a 12-minute feature titled, i had a health scare, in which she revealed that she discovered a lump on her chest. For those unaware, Pokimane has been pretty candid about her health, and on May 30, 2024, she revealed that she was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in her mid-twenties.

Providing details about the lump that was discovered, Pokimane said:

“Essentially, what these tests found, and what I kind of suspected all along was that the lump that I had removed a few years ago had been growing back. And, so on the tests, that’s why it kind of looked weird. And whether or not that was technically a bad growth, we didn’t know.

Furthermore, the Moroccan-Canadian personality disclosed that her doctor had ordered her to have two biopsies, in addition to MRIs and ultrasound tests:

“So, after already stressing out about the MRIs I had to get done, the ultrasounds I had to get done, my doctor ordered not one but two biopsies, and that really freaked me out because I’ve never had a biopsy done. Oh, my god, sorry. I’m having a hard time even talking about it. Even though I went through all of this already, it still gives me such stress and anxiety.”

“I Was Holding in So Much Stress and Tension” – Pokimane Reveals Footage of Her Crying Amid Health Scare

At the nine-minute mark of the YouTube video, Pokimane discussed how she was dealing with her health scare. The Twitch streamer described her reaction to receiving the results of her second biopsy as follows:

“I really thought I was doing a really good job at coping. But it wasn’t until after my second biopsy, and me finally getting the results a few days later, that I realized, ‘Holy guac!’ I was holding in so much stress and tension, and concern all these weeks. It was just building up beneath me.”

Imane then played a short video of herself crying in a park, admitting to feeling overwhelmed by the situation:

“I don’t know why I keep coming back to this stupid park every time I’m emotional. I just feel so overwhelmed. And like… these tears have been building up in me for weeks!”

Pokimane eventually revealed what the test results said about her health:

“Luckily, when I finally got the results of my second biopsy, and it said they were benign, I was so relieved! And I was able to really process everything. Cried out a little bit, maybe. And, interestingly enough, the results actually came on the same day as my mom’s birthday. So it was a nice gift for her and me.”
