 â Naga Munchetty Has Opened Up About A Painful Health Struggle After Revealing She Felt Unwell Before A BBC Appearance.
Naga has previously said she became âconditioned to acceptâ the pain, but admitted it can âcome at any timeâ, including when she is live on BBC Breakfast
Naga Munchetty has spoken candidly about once fainting before appearing on live television, as she opened up about a painful health condition. Naga has the non-cancerous gynaecological condition adenomyosis, referred to as the âevil twin sister of endometriosisâ, in which the lining of the womb grows into the muscle in the womb wall and leaves her in severe pain.
Symptoms of the condition, which is more commonly diagnosed in women aged over 30, include painful periods that can involve heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, bloating and discomfort during sex.
Naga has previously discussed becoming âconditioned to acceptâ the pain, yet acknowledged it can âcome at any timeâ, even while she is broadcasting live on television. The BBC Breakfast star made the remarks during a chat about health with Kate Thornton on the White Wine Question Time podcast.
She said: âI donât wanna keep saying Iâm in pain. It doesnât do my mental health any good. It doesnât do⊠It takes you back to a time when, you know, I would be at school and vomiting, throwing up, you know, fainting.
âI fainted just in the last month when I had a period again, just before work. And, you know, I was really ill.
âIt makes you feel like youâre doing less well than other women. When you look aroundâŠI would look at you, Kate, you know. Weâre not dissimilar ages.
âI would look at you and go, âSheâs doing brilliantly. Sheâs coping. Look how far sheâs got. You know, Iâm not doing well enoughâ. Iâd look at my peers and think, âWell, theyâre just cracking on with it. Why is it affecting you so much?ââ
Speaking previously about the condition, Naga told The Times that with the pain, you âput it in a boxâ and âget on with your jobâ, adding that she also âprobablyâ has endometriosis.
She said: âIf youâre curled up on the floor screaming, sweating, flooding, passing out, vomiting, that is debilitating. But you end up normalising that pain.â
Naga visited doctors on a number of occasions, but didnât receive her diagnosis for 32 years. She previously admitted that sheâd âcome off set to throw upâ while on BBC Breakfast as she thought she was âpassing outâ.
âI went to the toilet, threw up, cleaned it up. I managed to get a 10-minute break, got makeup redone covered in sweat, sat down and did the next hour and a half.â
By contrast, endometriosis is a separate condition where tissue akin to the lining of the womb âgrows in other placesâ, the NHS explains.
It adds that you should seek an urgent GP appointment or call NHS 111 if your pelvic or period pain is severe or worse than expected and painkillers havenât alleviated it.
