BC presenter Naga Munchetty mentioned she has a debilitating womb situation that has left her screaming in ache.
The broadcaster, 48, mentioned she has adenomyosis, a situation that causes the liner of the womb to bury into the muscular wall of the womb.
Speaking on her BBC Radio 5 Live present, she mentioned: “Right now, as I sit here talking to you, I am in pain, constant, nagging pain in my uterus, around my pelvis.
“Sometimes it runs down my thighs and I will have some level of pain for the entire show and for the rest of the day until I go to sleep.
“Every so often the pain changes. It becomes a stabbing pain, a pain that takes my breath away and I can do nothing but sit with it for a minute or curl up to cope.”
The ache was so unhealthy over the weekend, she was screaming and her husband known as an ambulance, Munchetty mentioned.
She mentioned: “On Saturday night I came home from the theatre and my adenomyosis flared up.
“I was in so much pain I could barely walk from the car to my front door. It was only with my husband’s help that I made it upstairs.
“The pain was so terrible I couldn’t move, turn over, sit up. I screamed non-stop for 45 minutes.
“I finally got to sleep and in the middle of the night the pain returned and it was worse.
“My husband called an ambulance.
“By the time they called back the pain had subsided a little but that pain, my goodness, I couldn’t move.”
Munchetty mentioned she was advised she has the situation eight months in the past – although her uterus would have to be eliminated and examined to get that confirmed.
The presenter, who's resisting a hysterectomy, mentioned the prognosis got here “after decades of painful, heavy periods, periods that made me pass out, sweat, cry, moan, groan, curled up in a tight ball, having to sleep on a towel”.
Munchetty mentioned she was doubled over in ache and vomiting when she began her interval at 16 – after which had a 10-day interval each three weeks, passing out and being sick every time and feeling like she had been “stabbed in the abdomen”.
She mentioned: “I felt weak but also angry. Every time I told a doctor about it I was told I was just unlucky.”
She mentioned she was by no means supplied a scan or ultrasound or any follow-up appointments till she bled for 30 days straight a number of months in the past and had a scan, which revealed adenomyosis.
Munchetty’s 5 Live present featured different ladies residing with the situation, together with one mom who mentioned her daughter not asks to play along with her as a result of she is aware of she will be unable to due to her ache.
