Hassan Mostafa Hospitalized with Health Complications After Competing at the NY Pro

Hassan Mostafa underwent surgery after the NY Pro.

After coming in fourth place at the recent NY Pro, Hassan Mostafa has been hospitalized.

The talented prospect fought through hemorrhoids to be able to compete at the NY Pro. But as he arrived back in Las Vegas he immediately visited the hospital. There he would discover that he was dealing with an infection that caused abscess.

After undergoing surgery to fix the problem it appears that Hassan Mostafa will make a full recovery. He had this to say about his current condition as well as his performance at the NY Pro show.

I wanted my first post after NY Pro to be a clarification of what I went through during the last few days. Since I’ve seen many people negatively critique my stage presence and my posing, I’d like to tell you that a few pictures online don’t tell the whole story.

I was simply in so much pain during the show it made it almost impossible to enjoy any of it. I’m just grateful I was able to suck it up and pose anyway because many times I wanted to run off stage from the extreme pain.

Unfortunately, after I landed in Tampa I got hemorrhoids for the first time and I had no idea how to respond to it. And for anyone that experienced them knows how extremely painful they are. Especially with the constant posing practice and stress leading up to the show, my condition worsened day after day. And by the finals of the show I was barely able to walk from the swelling.

So please, if you want to give advise about my smile, or my walk, or my confidence, I’m here to tell you that I’m working really really hard to make improve, but sometimes things outside our hands take over and make these little adjustments almost impossible.

Finally, for those who supported me and showed nothing but respect and love, I want to say THANK YOU, you’re the reason why this sport is a great one!!!!!!

Finally, for those who supported me and showed nothing but respect and love, I want to say THANK YOU, you’re the reason why this sport is a great one!!!!!! حبيت أوضح حاجة عن ظروفي في بطولة نيويورك. عشان شفت تعليقات كتير سلبية بتنتقض العرض وحضوري على المسرح من غير ميعرفو القصة كلها. للأسف أول ما وصلت أمريكا جاتلي البواسير لأول مرة في حياتي ومعرفتش أتعامل معاه إزاي … ولو حد مجرب المرض ده حيعرف قد إيه هو مؤلم جدا. بالذات مع العرض المستمر وتوتر البطولة حالتي كانت بتسوء يوم بعد يوم. وفي العرض النهائي يوم البطولة مكنتش قادر أمشي على رجليا من كبر الورم والوجع. فلو سمحتو، لو حابين تنصحوني على طريقة العرض أو ابتسامتي أو حتى ثقتي بنفسي على المسرح، حابة أقلكم إني باشتغل على نفسي كتير جدا عشان أطور من مستوايا وأظهر بأفضل شكل ممكن، بس للأسف أحيانا في ظروف أقوى منى وبيصعبو عليا الحاجات دي. وبالأخر حابب أقول لكل إلي وقف جنبي وقال في حقى كلمة حلوة، شكرااااااااااا فعلا عشان أنتم إلي بتخلو لعبتنا حلوة ❤️
