Evicted BBNaija All Stars housemate, Uriel has shared details about a four-year-old condition that may hinder her ability to cocuetve
In a recent interview with media personality Hero Daniels, Uriel revealed that she suffers from amenorrhea, characterized by not having periods from puberty through menopause.
According to Uriel, she viewed this period as the most challenging of her life, as doctors told her she might not be able to conceive.
In her 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.”
