THE BBC BREAKFAST PRESENTER'S HUSBAND HAD TO MAKE A PANICKED CALL TO 999, SAYING 'SHE CAN'T MOVE' IN 2022. 18:39, 29 May 2025 BBC Breakfast host Naga Munchetty was left
in extreme pain when a night at the theatre ended in her being unable to move. Her husband, News UK's James Haggar, was unable to drive her to hospital as he'd been drinking,
forcing him to make a panicked call to 999. Naga revealed that her husband had pleaded with emergency operators, saying: "She cannot move." A gynaecologist subsequently diagnosed
the presenter with adenomyosis after the incident in 2022, a condition affecting the uterus lining and causing it to grow into the muscle of the womb's wall. The NHS states that
although some sufferers have no symptoms, others experience debilitating pelvic pain and very heavy menstrual bleeding. The star had been struggling with chronic pain since the age of 15.
However, it wasn't until she was 47, and this incident took place, that she was diagnosed. Naga told Saga: "I'm very lucky because you have to pick your moments with partners
to tell them about everything you go through - you don't want to do it on the first date or the first time you sleep together. "Many of the women I speak to have wonderful
husbands, but they'd had to learn as adults about what their partners were going through, because we're not taught any of it in school." Naga also shared that she underwent
surgical sterilisation when she was in her mid-forties, as she and her husband made an early decision not to have children, reported The Express. Article continues below The BBC Breakfast
star confessed they "liked the life" they led and her mother eventually understood her choice. The NHS explains that adenomyosis, where the lining of the womb (uterus) starts
growing into the muscle in its wall, is more commonly diagnosed in women over the age of 30, and can affect anyone who has periods. SYMPTOMS OF ADENOMYOSIS The NHS explains that some
symptoms of adenomyosis affect your periods, such as: Other symptoms can happen any time in your menstrual cycle, such as: * pelvic pain (pain in the lower part of your tummy) * bloating,
heaviness or fullness in your tummy (abdomen) * pain during sex Some people with adenomyosis have no symptoms. The NHS website also explains the difference between adenomyosis and
endometriosis. While adenomyosis involves the lining of the womb growing into the muscle in the wall of the uterus, endometriosis is a different condition where tissue similar to the lining
of the womb grows in other places, such as the ovaries or fallopian tubes. Treatments for the condition include: * the IUS (intrauterine system, also called Mirena or hormonal coil), which
thins the womb lining, making your periods lighter and less painful * other types of hormonal contraception if you cannot or do not want to have an IUS, such as the progestogen-only pill,
the combined pill or the contraceptive patch * medicines such as tranexamic acid or NSAIDs If these treatments do not work, you may need surgery, explains the NHS. This could be a
hysterectomy, or surgery to remove the lining of your womb (endometrial ablation). Article continues below JOIN THE DAILY RECORD WHATSAPP COMMUNITY! Get the latest news sent straight to your
