Corazon Kwamboka Reveals Why She Has Already Undergone Menopause Despite Young Age
YouTuber and fitness influencer Corazon Kwamboka has candidly spoken about her reproductive health journey, disclosing that she experienced chemically-induced early menopause as part of the medical treatment for her battles with endometriosis and fibroids.
In a recent conversation on a local podcast, Kwamboka detailed the unexpected effects of the medication prescribed to manage her severe reproductive conditions.
The fitness enthusiast explained that after being diagnosed with ovarian endometriosis, her doctor initiated a course of medication specifically designed to temporarily induce menopause, allowing her body a chance to heal.
“I had endometriosis and fibroids. During that period, I was taking these pills that kind of induce menopause. My doctor suggested it because the ovarian endometriosis I had was linked to periods,” Kwamboka opened up.
“Essentially, you really cannot get pregnant, so hizo times nilikuwa na sweat (those times I was sweating), it was hard. I have experienced menopause already at this age because I had to take those pills to stop my periods so that I could heal.”
Healing and Pregnancy Journey
Kwamboka, who previously revealed she was terrified after being diagnosed with Stage 4 endometriosis in both her ovaries, shared that her condition improved significantly after her first pregnancy.
“So at the beginning of the year, when I got pregnant, I did the laparoscopy surgery, which removed the endometriosis, but still I had fibroids,” she revealed, confirming that she is currently endometriosis-free.
She also recounted a memorable moment while pregnant with her first child, noticing symptoms like bloating and breast tenderness while on the coast. When she informed her mother, the suggestion of pregnancy came as a surprise.
“I remember I was on the coast with my mum, and my belly was bloated, and I told my mum my boobs hurt, she told me I could be pregnant, and I was, no way am I taking pills, and when we came back, she told me to take a test,” she added.
Kwamboka’s revelation sheds crucial light on the complex challenges women face with reproductive health and the sometimes extreme, but necessary, unexpected effects of treatments for chronic conditions like endometriosis and fibroids.
