A mum who suffers from same 'little known' condition as Naga Munchetty has periods so heavy she goes through tampons every 20 minutes. Nikki Allford, 32, suffers from Adenomyosis, an extremely painful condition affecting her uterus.
The condition causes the lining of the womb to bury into the muscular wall of the womb. The severity of the symptoms varies wildly but often include heavy periods that last for a long time, severe period pain, a feeling of pressure in your tummy and bloating. For Nikki, who was diagnosed five years ago, but has been living with the condition since she was 19.
Nikki, who works in IT, said: “Since I was 19 I’ve been back and forth to doctors with symptoms and having surgery and being in constant pain. Around 2010 I was going to the doctor’s literally twice every week. I had extreme haemorrhaging and would often collapse on the floor in pain.
