Overview
- Naga Munchetty endured 32 years of severe adenomyosis symptoms, including heavy bleeding, vomiting, and fainting, before receiving a proper diagnosis.
- The condition, affecting one in ten women in the UK, involves endometrial tissue invading the uterine muscle, often leading to debilitating pain and infertility.
- Doctors repeatedly dismissed her symptoms as normal, delaying diagnosis and leaving her in physical and emotional distress for decades.
- Munchetty ultimately sought private care and underwent sterilisation, which she describes as her only viable treatment option.
- Her new memoir, 'It’s Probably Nothing,' chronicles her journey and amplifies calls for improved diagnosis, research funding, and education on women's reproductive health.
