Uriel Oputa, the evicted housemate from the BBNaija All Stars show, has candidly shared her journey regarding a medical condition that spans four years and presents potential challenges to her ability to have children in the future.
During a recent conversation with media personality Hero Daniels, Uriel opened up about her personal struggles. In the midst of this dialogue, she revealed her battle with Amenorrhea, a condition characterized by the absence of menstruation during the reproductive years from puberty to menopause.
At 35 years old, the singer bravely discussed the most challenging phase of her life, emphasizing that doctors had informed her that conceiving a child might not be possible due to her condition.
In her own 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.”
