Ex BBNaija Housemate, Uriel Oputa, has  opened up on her battle with Amenorrhoea, adding that the doctor says she might not be able to give birth to her own child.

(An Amenorrhea is a medical term for the absence of menstruation during the reproductive years between puberty and menopause).

The reality TV star revealed this during an interview she had recently with a media personality identified as Hero Daniels.

Uriel stated that when she was told that she may never be able to bear her own child, she went into depression that she could not bring herself to watch kids on TV.

She however told herself, that if in the future she can’t have her own child, she will make her niece to be her child, revealing that since then, she has been very close to her niece.

She said; “Before I decided to embark on a health journey, I had health challenges. One of them was that I didn’t see my period for four years. And I remember going to the doctors in the UK, and they told me that there was a high possibility that I would never be able to have children. That time, my niece was two years old and I remember leaving the office thinking, ‘Oh! I will never be able to have a child.’

“I went into a state of depression. I was so depressed that I couldn’t watch kids on TV. I hated going past schools or parks because I would be reminded constantly that I might not be able to be a mother”.

“So, it reached a point where I said, ‘Okay, if I can’t be a mother, I would have my niece as mine.’ And that is why, till today, my niece and I are very close because she looks at me as a second mother.”
