Overview

• Naga Munchetty was diagnosed with adenomyosis in 2022 after suffering extreme pain, heavy bleeding, and fainting since age 15.
• Her condition was identified incidentally during an ultrasound for an ovarian cyst, highlighting systemic gaps in women’s healthcare.
• Adenomyosis affects one in ten women in the UK, with symptoms often dismissed or misdiagnosed; it has no cure and limited treatment options.
• Munchetty has refused a hysterectomy, managing her condition through other means while advocating for greater awareness and research.
• Promoting her memoir on ITV’s Lorraine, she described her experience as emblematic of medical misogyny and the need for systemic change.
