What is lupus?
Lupus is a long-term autoimmune condition where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own healthy tissues. This can affect many parts of the body, including joints, skin, kidneys, heart, and lungs. For Selena Gomez, it means she cannot carry children herself, leading her to consider surrogacy or adoption.
