BBC Breakfast presenter Naga Munchetty has bravely shared her painful struggle with a little-known womb condition, adenomyosis. For 32 years, Naga’s debilitating symptoms were dismissed by medical professionals. Adenomyosis, akin to endometriosis, has caused her to scream in agonizing pain, even resorting to calling an ambulance at times. Speaking to MPs, Naga revealed the paranoia she experiences about taking toilet breaks and the necessity of wearing dark, loose clothing during her period. Despite suffering since the age of 15, Naga’s symptoms were not taken seriously during her formative years, with doctors telling her to “suck it up.” This dismissive attitude was especially prevalent among male doctors and female doctors who hadn’t experienced period pain themselves. Naga recounted the challenges of living with adenomyosis, highlighting the impact on her work and relationships. She only received a diagnosis at the age of 47, after seeking private healthcare due to a lack of care on the NHS. Adenomyosis affects around one in ten women and often goes undiagnosed for years. Naga’s honest testimony sheds light on the realities of living with this condition and the need for greater education and understanding surrounding women’s reproductive health.
