Former Miss Tanzania and socialite Wema Sepetu has revealed that she suffers from a disease which prevents her from receiving a child in her womb.
For many years she has tried to have a baby in vain.
“Let me be open today so that people can know this, I am suffering from a disease, which causes my eggs (ovaries) to rapture and thus cannot be fertilized” Wema said.
According to a Tanzanian fertility doctor Godfrey Chale, Wema is suffering from Polycystic Ovarian Disease (PCOD) which is a hormonal disorder whose symptoms are enlarged ovaries containing multiple small cysts that prevent the ovaries from fertilizing.
Had Wema not gone for early diagnosis, she would have suffered from Uterine Cancer.
Her condition would rather need a specialized surgery to remove the cysts. Wema is optimistic and will try to have a kid in next year after recovering
