Naga Munchetty opens up on adenomyosis pain

BBC Breakfast presenter Naga Munchetty has spoken openly about her long battle with adenomyosis, a condition she has endured since she was 15, causing extreme pain, heavy periods, fainting, and vomiting. Despite experiencing severe symptoms from a young age, she felt dismissed by healthcare professionals who often told her she would "grow out of it," leading to a diagnosis delay of 32 years. Munchetty described the pain as debilitating and shared how the condition impacted her ability to be her best self. Her diagnosis came after a scan revealed a cyst on her ovary, and she refers to adenomyosis as the "evil twin" of endometriosis. Munchetty discussed her journey and health struggles on ITV's Lorraine and in her new book, aiming to raise awareness about women's health issues. Her candid revelations have resonated widely, with many viewers expressing support and highlighting the national scandal of undiagnosed chronic pain in women.
