Nigerian singer and rapper, Saeon Moruda a.k.a Omo Ibadan has shared the story of her battle with endometriosis and it is very inspiring.

In celebration of International Women’s Day, Saeon took to Instagram to recount her ordeal last year after suffering from Endometriosis, a Cystic Ovary and Fibroid, which she went through surgery for.

Endometriosis is a condition in which tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus called “the endometrium”, is found outside the uterus, where it induces a chronic inflammatory reaction that may result in scar tissue.

Now advocating for a walk against Endometriosis and campaigning for a walk against the ailment, the young beautiful musician wrote;

“Last year I went through a tough ordeal. I had been experiencing really excruciating menstrual cramps for a year and they got worse with every cycle. I eventually found out I had been dealing with Endometriosis, a Cystic Ovary and Fibroids; all of which I had to be operated on for.

Prior to the diagnosis, I hadn’t really heard of or paid attention to Endometriosis and I catch myself wishing I had been educated on it as this knowledge could have helped in earlier diagnosis and my not having to go through the stress of some symptoms I dealt with experiencing really excruciating menstrual cramps for a year and they got worse with every cycle.”
