Los Angeles, CA – Actress and philanthropist Lauren Miller Rogen, who is married to actor and producer Seth Rogen, recently revealed that she underwent surgery to treat a brain aneurysm. Miller Rogen shared her experience during a speech at the UCLA Department of Neurosurgery Visionary Ball in Los Angeles on Wednesday, according to People magazine.
The decision to seek medical intervention came as a result of a family history of dementia. Miller Rogen explained that she underwent a full body MRI several years ago to assess any potential risks to her longevity. It was during this scan that doctors identified the presence of an aneurysm in her head.
Naturally, Miller Rogen found this information terrifying, as she recalled her great-grandmother’s experience with the same condition. Wanting to take proactive measures, she monitored the aneurysm closely, and initially, it remained small. However, last year, doctors noticed that the aneurysm had grown in size, leading to the decision to undergo surgery at UCLA.
Expressing her gratitude, Miller Rogen said, “I’m truly endlessly grateful to Dr. Colby, his entire team, and the entire staff at UCLA who guided us through this scary experience that I’m truly grateful to have overcome.”
Lauren Miller Rogen is not only known for her acting career but also her work as a philanthropist. In 2012, she founded the nonprofit organization Hilarity for Charity, which aims to raise funds for dementia care and research. Her personal experience with a potential life-threatening condition further highlights the importance of her efforts to support mental health and longevity.
Miller Rogen’s story sheds light on the issue of brain aneurysms and the impact they can have on individuals and their families. It serves as a reminder of the importance of regular medical check-ups, especially for those with a family history of certain conditions.
The actress’ decision to share her experience publicly has sparked conversations about brain health and the need for increased awareness and support for neurological conditions. By using her platform and personal story, Miller Rogen continues to advocate for improved care and research in the field.
