What doctors told me after my menstruation seized for four years – Evicted BBNaija All Stars housemate

Evicted Big Brother Naija All Stars housemate Uriel Oputa has opened up on her struggle with a health issue for four years.

The ex-Big Brother Naija housemate revealed that she has been struggling with Amenorrhea, a medical term for the absence of menstruation during the reproductive years, between puberty and menopause.

She revealed this in a recent chat with media personality Hero Daniels.

The 35-year-old reality star disclosed that the health challenge was “the lowest point” of her life, adding that doctors told her that she may never be able to have kids.

She stated that the news of that drove her into depression, emphasizing on how she hated watching kids on the TV during those period.

In her words:

“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.”
