00:00 Naga Munchete has to wear dark clothing and plan loo breaks at work due to health woes.

00:15 Naga Munchete has opened up about suffering in silence with womb condition (adenomiosis)

00:20 for 32 years, as she discussed the importance of being diagnosed and getting help as part

00:25 of the Women and Equalities Committee's inquiry into women's reproductive health.

00:35 Naga Munchete has candidly spoken out about a debilitating womb condition she has suffered

00:40 from since the age of 15.

00:48 The BBC Breakfast star was only diagnosed with adenomiosis last year after medics dismissed

00:53 her for 32 years.

01:01 Naga, 48, opened up about her painful issue as she called for change in a conversation

01:06 with MPs about reproductive health issues today.

01:16 Discussing her own experience, the presenter revealed adenomiosis had left her screaming

01:21 in agony and having to seek emergency help.

01:30 The condition, she added, had also left her feeling almost paranoid about when you take

01:35 a toilet break.

01:42 With this, Naga went on to say she had little choice but to wear dark, loose clothing when

01:47 on her period and has to alert her bosses about when she requires the toilet.

01:55 Adenomiosis, similar to endometriosis, is a condition in which the womb lining grows

02:02 deep within the muscular wall of the womb.

02:11 One in ten women is thought to be affected, but it often remains undiagnosed for years.

02:23 According to the NHS, symptoms can include heavy bleeding and pain during your period.

02:35 Other symptoms can happen any time in your menstrual cycle, such as pelvic pain, bloating,

02:40 heaviness or fullness in your tummy and pain during sex.

02:50 Speaking further, Naga said symptoms began for her when she was just 15 after starting

02:55 her period.

03:02 They were very heavy, she explained, in quotes obtained by the Mail Online.
