I’ve had hemorrhoids since I was 12- Maraji
Nigerian comedienne, Gloria Oloruntobi, better known as Maraji, says she battled with hemorrhoids since the age of 12.
The comedienne stated this in a recent Vlog post while reflecting about her experience with the ailment.
She described hemorrhoids as the hardest thing she gone through.
She said “At the beginning of the year, I had surgery. So I took a break before, during, and after the surgery. The recovery from Hemorrhoidectomy, the removal of hemorrhoids. I’ve had it since age 12 and suffered from it.
“It’s the hardest thing I’ve gone through that I advised someone who suffers it not to get surgery but to keep managing it. Mine was so serious that the doctoral asked if I’d given birth before.
“I had both internal and external hemorrhoids. They were killing me. After the stitches healed, I got married. It was a decision we both made. From the moment we decided to when we got married, it was less than a month.
“Shortly after, I got pregnant, which is crazy because I have PCOS. I’d always thought it would take me a while to get pregnant to the point that I’d bought ovulation test kits. My husband is Ghanaian and we planned to move.
“I’d prepared myself for the worst. It was like after two sexes that I conceived. I was shocked, happy, thrilled, and scared. With PCOS, your body doesn’t produce progesterone like other people. I didn’t want to lose my baby.”
