AJIB GATHONI ON PLANS TO UNDERGO FORCED MENOPAUSE

Renowned TikTok creator Ajib Gathoni has revealed that she is seriously considering undergoing forced menopause as a potential solution to her ongoing struggle with adenomyosis. 

The popular digital influencer recently opened up about her medical condition on Mic Cheque Podcast revealing the intense pain she faces during her menstrual cycles. 

Adenomyosis, a condition closely related to endometriosis, occurs when the uterine lining grows into the muscular wall of the uterus, often causing severe pain and heavy bleeding. Gathoni shared her experience, stating, “It only comes when I’m on my period. My uterine wall has blood clots, so they activate during my periods. When I’m having my regular menstruation, the blood clots also bleed, so I get double pain.” 

After enduring multiple treatments that failed to alleviate her symptoms, Gathoni decided to consult a gynaecologist. “The reason why I went to the gynecologist is because I took all kinds of medicine and nothing worked. She gave me seven options, one being getting pregnant, but that will only help for nine months.” 

Gathoni further explained that a more permanent solution presented to her was undergoing forced menopause, which would involve the removal of her uterus. “If the problem is that I have periods, then I might as well not have periods at all. If it becomes extreme and the doctor advises it, I will do it,” she candidly shared.
