Ex-BBC presenter Ciru Muriuki has opened up about battling endometriosis. Endometriosis is the same condition media personality Jahmby Koikai was battling until her death.
It is an often painful disorder in which tissue similar to the tissue that normally lines the inside of your uterus — the endometrium — grows outside your uterus. Endometriosis most commonly involves your ovaries, fallopian tubes and the tissue lining your pelvis.
Sharing her experience while appearing on 'The Trend' show hosted in honour of Jahmby revealed she had undergone 4 surgeries.
"I have stage 4 endometriosis but I have not suffered a fraction of how much Jahmby suffered. Hers had gone to her teeth,lungs and Diaphragm. I have had four endometriosis surgeries."
In the past Jahmby revealed since she had her menses at age 13, they were always painful.
Speaking to Mungai Eve, Njambi recounted living with the disease for many years. She said at some point the disease cost her job as her bosses could not understand she was suffering.
"It was tough handling sickness and nobody knew what I was going through," Njambi said.
"It was unfortunate that nobody believed I was sick, from my bosses, colleagues, lecturers until it was almost tragic. That is when people started believing I was sick."
