Nambitha Ben Mazwi Opens Up about Her Chronic Illness. Former \u2018Scandal\u2019 Actress Nambitha Ben-Mazwi has often opened up about all her life struggles and dreams with her followers and now she is sharing yet another health battle as she has now been diagnosed with endometriosis.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nambitha took to Instagram in a lengthy emotional post detailing her journey since she went for an emergency surgery in May for her Endometriosis which is a painful disorder involving tissue that abnormally grows outside the uterus.<\/p>\n

The actress and businesswoman has recently been diagnosed with stage one\u00a0endometriosis after undergoing a number of procedures a few weeks ago but being the fighter that she is, Lady Nam will not let this get her spirits down in any way. <\/p>\n

\u201cOn May 25, I underwent emergency surgery. A number of procedures were done, above and beyond being diagnosed with stage 1 endometriosis. This has been the toughest time of my life. But with the storm I have seen and felt God cover me like no other\u201d <\/em>she said.<\/p>\n

Mazwi will soon share more on the illness when the time is right however, She continued to thank everyone who has shown support during her journey as she was put on a six-week recovery regiment which has been difficult away from her loved ones.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut for now, I want to say thank you to my family. It\u2019s been hard doing this far from them and away from home, but I have felt them\u201d <\/em>Mazwi stated.<\/p>\n

Shew. Ok here it goes. 25:05:20 I underwent emergency surgery. A number of procedures were done, above and beyond being diagnosed with stage 1 endometriosis. This has been the toughest time of my life. But with the storm I have seen and felt God cover me like no other. I have been very quiet and understandably so. I haven\u2019t been myself because wow, It\u2019s been a lot. But I need to lead by example and show the true beauty that comes with vulnerability and open up about this time in my life. It\u2019s been a whirlwind of emotions, leading up to the surgery and finding out the news. The recovery hasn\u2019t been smooth sailing, but now I am in a much better place. A more peaceful place and am surrounded only with love. When the time is right, I will open up more and share about this Illness, and female reproductive health. As well as medical aid because yey man! But for now, I want to say thank you to my family. It\u2019s been hard doing this far from them and away from home, but I have felt them and my mom (that woman I cry thinking about how amazing she is) has nursed me virtually to a better place. My friends who have been there for me. Thank you. I also apologize in advance to those dear to me who didn\u2019t know. I wanted the space to deal with this in my own way. And announcing to all those close to me was just already giving me anxiety as I didn\u2019t want many to worry. God has done something amazing during this painful trying time, He has sent me #endowarriors who have found their way to me. You know who you all are. No one fully understands this fight, much like #endometriosis sisters. I plan on sharing my testimony which is in the works with you soon. How I was able to pucker up the courage to smile in this pic after hours of surgery, is beyond me. I am now on a 6 week recovery at home. It is well. \u2764\ufe0f All my love, Lady Nam #ThankYouJesus<\/p>\n
