The evicted BBNaija All Stars housemate, Uriel discloses of her struggle with amenorrhea that lasted for four years.
Amenorrhea is a medical condition that involves the absence of menstruation in a woman during the reproductive age.
The evicted BBNaija All Stars housemate disclosed in a recent chat with a media personnel that the health challenge is the most degrading part of her life. She mentioned that doctors told her that she may never be able to have children.
She said
“Before I decided to embark on a health journey, I had health challenges. One of them was that I didn’t see my period for four years. And I remember going to the doctors in the UK, and they told me that there was a high possibility that I would never be able to have children. That time, my niece was two years old and I remember leaving the office thinking, ‘Oh! I will never be able to have a child’
I went into a state of depression. I was so depressed that I couldn’t watch kids on TV. I hated going past schools or parks because I would be reminded constantly that I may not be able to be a mother. So, it reached a point where I said, Okay, if I can’t be a mother, I would have my niece as mine. And that is why, till today, we [my niece and I] are very close because she looks at me as a second mother.”
