Former Big Brother Naija All Stars contestant, Uriel Oputa, has opened up about her battle with a medical condition known as amenorrhea.
Amenorrhea refers to the absence of menstrual periods between puberty and menopause.
The 35-year-old singer shared that she faced this health challenge for a span of four years.
During a recent conversation with media personality Hero Daniels, Uriel recounted this period as the lowest point in her life.
She revealed that doctors informed her there was a significant likelihood that she might never be able to conceive a child.
This revelation was particularly distressing for Uriel as she had a two-year-old niece at the time.
Leaving the doctor’s office, she recalls feeling overwhelmed by the thought that she might never experience motherhood.
Uriel’s emotional distress led to a state of depression, causing her to avoid seeing children on television and even feeling uncomfortable passing by schools and parks.
She carried a constant reminder of her potential inability to become a mother.
In response to her emotional turmoil, she made the decision that if she couldn’t have her own child, she would consider her niece as her own.
This decision brought Uriel and her niece incredibly close, with the young girl viewing Uriel as a second mother figure in her life.
