What the report says

Celebpatrol.ug reports that Ugandan singer Irene Ntale has publicly discussed a recent health scare involving uterine fibroids, saying she underwent surgery to remove 30 growths. According to the outlet, Ntale shared the information while responding to an influencer’s social media post about fibroids and the importance of women speaking openly about the condition.

The report says Ntale disclosed that she had an open abdominal myomectomy in June, performed through a vertical incision, and that the procedure took place in Uganda. She indicated that the operation was successful and that she was healing well, while also describing the first week after surgery as especially difficult. Celebpatrol.ug reported that she has gradually been returning to her usual activities.

Fibroids are generally non-cancerous growths that form in or around the uterus. Some people have no noticeable symptoms, while others may experience heavy bleeding, pelvic pain or pressure, and fertility-related complications, depending on the size and location of the growths. Ntale’s decision to speak publicly adds to broader conversations about women’s reproductive health and the value of seeking medical advice when symptoms occur.

Celebpatrol.ug also reported that fans and social media users reacted with messages of support, prayers and wishes for her full recovery. The outlet framed the disclosure as significant because Ntale’s platform could help reduce stigma around fibroids and encourage more women dealing with similar health challenges to discuss them and pursue care.
