Various Kenyan celebrities have openly discussed the chronic health conditions they are facing, with one particularly prevalent among women being endometriosis.

The World Health Organization defines endometriosis as a condition in which tissue resembling the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, leading to symptoms such as painful periods, heavy bleeding, and discomfort during intercourse or bowel movements.

This condition often results in inflammation and scar tissue formation in the pelvic region and, in rare cases, other body parts. It typically begins at the onset of menstruation and can persist until menopause. Although there is no known cure, symptoms can be managed through medication or, in some instances, surgery.

The late Jahmby Koikai was a vocal advocate against endometriosis, having suffered from the condition since the age of 13. Despite her efforts to seek treatment both locally and abroad, her battle with endometriosis ultimately led to her passing in June 2024. Jahmby's courageous journey in battling endometriosis became emblematic of the struggles faced by countless women.

In addition to Jahmby, several other Kenyan celebrities have shared their experiences with endometriosis, shedding light on the challenges faced by those living with the condition.

Natalie Githinji, comedian Senjee, media personality Janet Mbugua, Ciru Muriuki, and socialite Corazon Kwamboka have all bravely spoken about their battles with the illness.

These celebrities' openness about their struggles with endometriosis has played a crucial role in raising awareness and fostering support for those living with the condition in Kenya. Their stories have comforted others facing similar challenges and contributed to breaking the silence surrounding endometriosis, paving the way for greater understanding and support within the community.
