“I’ve never experienced a painless period since i was 13. God is truly gracious” Joy as Njambi Koikai finally responds to treatment
Njambi Koikai has been receiving treatment at an American hospital for the last three months. The former Trend panelist was suffering from Thoracic Endometriosis – a condition which caused her lungs to collapse regularly during her menses.
Njambi left for Atlanta, United States on February 22nd 2018 to seek treatment for her condition. For the past months things were not looking good for her.
Painless menstruation
Well, Njambi is finally responding to treatment. She confirmed that for the first time in a long time she felt no pain during her period.
“I love how my body is responding to treatment and therapy even though sometimes it may be painful and uncomfortable. Good news is i was on my period last week. I did not take any painkillers for my period or burn myself with a hot water bottle. My flow was not heavy either. I’ve never experienced a painless period since i was 13. God is truly gracious and placed me in the hands of the best doctors. My lungs did not collapse either. It felt abnormal. It felt so different to have a normal period. No injections for period pain,” wrote Njambi in part.
Njambi says she is sharing her experience to encourage more women to visit gynaecologists. Some women are still apprehensive about going to the hospital to inquire about their reproductive health.
“I’m writing this because many ladies are hitting my inbox with loads of questions and the main concern is fear. Fear to see a gynaecologist and get the bad news. Do not fear. Ignorance is not bliss. Please see a proper gynaecologist who will be able to assist you. I urge all of you sisters to make that step if you’ve been suffering from painful periods. There’s help and i believe we are going to make strides in women’s reproductive health care. I’m aware of the financial struggle that many of us are in. I’m also aware of the shortage of gynaecologists in our country. As i focus on healing, i think about you my sisters and what we can do to avoid another situation like mine.
For most of you who ask, my gynaecologist is Dr. Prafull Patel at Aga Khan Doctor’s Hospital Plaza 1st floor office number 0723121356. Do not be fear,” wrote Njambi.
