MUSICIAN KAZ OPENS UP ABOUT HYSTERECTOMY

Kenyan musician, Karen Lucas, popularly known as Kaz, has revealed that she will undergo a hysterectomy after being diagnosed with fibroids two years ago. 

In a public announcement, Kaz shared that her gynecologist discovered two fibroids in her uterus, which has led to her decision to undergo a full hysterectomy in the coming days. “In five days, I will be getting my uterus removed. The procedure is laparoscopic, which means the removal will be minimally invasive. They will be removing my uterus, cervix, and fallopian tubes,” Kaz stated. 

Despite the major surgery, Kaz reassured her fans and followers that she will not enter early menopause. “I will still keep my ovaries, which means I’ll continue to have PMS, ovulate, and produce eggs. Early menopause isn’t something I need to worry about right now,” she explained.

She also revealed that her doctors suspect she may have endometriosis on her right ovary, a condition they will address during the surgery. “My gynaecologist says that it is her duty to make sure that she protects my ovaries. So ovary removal is not going to be a thing that I have to think about right now,” she added. 

The musician expressed a positive outlook, concluding with a light-hearted note: “I’m still a spring chicken, okay?”
