Aussie bikini influencer and entrepreneur Natasha Oakley has revealed she's had a tumour removed from her kidney.

The 35-year-old, known for her A Bikini A Day blog and Monday Swimwear line, shared a series of pictures of herself in hospital following the procedure as she informed fans and followers of her health scare.

The newly-married personality said she had a MRI scan in March, which led to the discovery of a 2.5cm tumour.

"Little life update… The last six months have felt a little different," her post read.

"In March, my Prenuvo MRI scan found a small 2.5 cm tumor in my left kidney.

"After multiple scans and a biopsy, we decided the best course of action was to do a partial nephrectomy — to remove the tumor and part of my kidney."

Oakley, who is married to liquor heir Theo Chambers, there has "been highs and lows" in her health journey, but she's glad she could get her health sorted.

"Last week, we successfully removed the low-grade cancerous tumor (sic), and now I am on the road to recovery," she said.

"There have been highs and lows, but overall I'm just so grateful we picked up on it."

She said both her best friend and business partner Devin Brugman and her husband have been right by her side through it all.

"This little health hiccup has been nothing compared to what so many people go through, so if anything, it has just made me feel even more empathetic toward anyone experiencing health challenges — and, of course, even more appreciative of my own health," she added in part of her post.

According to the Mayo Clinic, a "partial nephrectomy removes part of a kidney and leaves healthy tissue in place".

Underneath, Brugman commented: "My little kidney bean princessa."
