Samini Opens Up About His Battles With Hernia
Multiple award-winning Ghanaian musician, Emmanuel Andrews Samini, affectionately called Samini, has opened up about his silent battle with hernia.
Samini made this revelation during an interview with Health Quarters Podcast.
Speaking during the interview, the musician said he had been silently battling the pain caused by the hernia for about 10 years.
According to him, “I hadn’t spoken about it to a single individual; you feel you have to keep it to yourself.”
“I shared with a medical professional, and we did an examination which revealed that it is a hernia I have kept for the past 10 years. Just that it did not descend,” he revealed.
Growing up, Samini said, when one hears of hernia, they only think of someone walking with huge or swollen testicles. Little did he know, it was more of abdominal pain which grows into something else before reaching the swollen stage.
“What saved me was the fact that whatever they found had not developed into a full hernia,” he said.
The multiple award-winning musician further added, “We did a successful surgery, and it took me about three months to fully recover. I kept it to myself and did everything calmly.”
He advised his colleagues to be conscious of their health, adding, “My doctor told me that those of us who sing live, because of the amount of pressure we force to use our voice, and the amount of air we keep inside when singing melodies, are prone to hernia, both male and female.”
