Endometriosis is a medical condition whereby the lining of the uterus, known as the endometrium, grows in other places, such as the fallopian tubes, the intestines, the colon and, in rare cases, the lungs and the brain. When the endometrium lining breaks down, like the regular lining that causes menstruation breaks down, it has nowhere to go.

Ciru Muriuki, who exited NTV and joined K24 after co-hosting The Trend for quite a while is the latest celebrity to come out and reveal that she's suffering from Endometriosis after Njambi Koikai.

Ciru Muriuki surprised her followers with a bitter message on 24th December after she revealed that she had gone under the knife due to endometriosis-related complications.

"@jahmbykoikai you're a rock star for bringing awareness to endometriosis. So many of us are suffering in silence, faced with physicians who don't really care. I remember one who insinuated that my pelvic pain was caused by an STD. SURELY.

Anyways, I had a laparoscopic procedure yesterday to remove a large haemorrhagic ovarian cyst. I'm a little sore, but on the mend. We need a cure. We do," Ciru posted on Instagram accompanied by the photo below.
