Socialite and fitness star Corazon Kwamboka has opened up about enduring early menopause — not due to age, but as an unexpected consequence of treatment for severe reproductive health complications.
In a heartfelt interview on a local podcast, Corazon recounted years of battling endometriosis and fibroids, conditions that eventually forced her into a medically induced menopausal state.
Born in mid-August 1990, the mother of two revealed that doctors placed her on medication to halt her menstrual cycle after discovering she had ovarian endometriosis.
“I had endometriosis and fibroids. I was taking pills that kind of induce menopause,” she said.
“My doctor suggested it because the ovarian endometriosis was linked to my periods. I’ve already experienced menopause at this age because I had to stop my periods so my body could heal.”
At just age 35, Corazon Kwamboka said the experience was physically draining, recalling episodes of intense sweating and hormonal shifts that made the treatment particularly difficult — all while being aware that conception was nearly impossible during that period.
Her journey took another complicated turn when she conceived her first child. Despite the pregnancy, she proceeded with laparoscopy surgery to remove the endometriosis, though her fibroids could not be fully eliminated.
“When I got pregnant early in the year, I did the laparoscopy, which removed the endometriosis, but I still had fibroids,” she revealed.
Corazon recalled a striking moment with her own mother during a trip to the Coast. She’d noticed bloating and breast tenderness and mentioned it casually — only for her mother to immediately suggest she might be pregnant.
“My belly was bloated and my boobs hurt. My mum said, ‘You could be pregnant.’ I told her there was no way because I was on medication. When we returned home, she told me to take a test — and she was right.”
In previous conversations, Corazon Kwamboka has spoken about the shock of being diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis in both ovaries — a discovery that left her fearful and uncertain about her reproductive future.
Now endometriosis-free, she says sharing her story is her way of encouraging other women facing similar struggles. Her revelation underscores the often unseen hardships tied to conditions like endometriosis and fibroids — and the unexpected side-effects of the treatments meant to manage them.
