Onua TV presenter and media personality Matilda Adjoa Densu, popularly known as AJ Poundz, has bravely shared her harrowing experience of nearly losing her life just weeks after giving birth.

In a candid interview with renowned entertainment journalist ZionFelix, AJ Poundz recounted the shocking diagnosis she received following an unexpected hospital visit.

While accompanying her mother for a goitre treatment, she struck up a conversation with the doctor, who happens to be a close friend.

During their discussion, the doctor raised concerns about AJ's postnatal health, specifically drawing attention to an abnormality around her navel.

This casual conversation turned into a life-saving moment for AJ Poundz. A subsequent physical check-up revealed that she had been unknowingly living with an umbilical hernia, a condition that occurs when part of the intestine protrudes through the abdominal wall near the belly button.

The diagnosis came as a profound shock to both AJ Poundz and her husband, who had been focused on the joys of their new parenthood.

The medical team urgently advised her to undergo surgery, cautioning that any delay could result in severe complications, including life-threatening circumstances.

Grateful for the timely intervention, AJ Poundz expressed her relief and emphasised the importance of paying attention to one’s health, especially in the postpartum period.

"AJ, we thank God for your life 🙏🙏. The umbilical hernia surgery is a minor operation. It could be dangerous, though, if left untreated."

Profftpg stated:

"Umbilical hernia can give minimal to severe abdominal pains, sometimes no symptoms until it becomes obstructed, then it becomes an emergency to be operated on asap. A lot of people are walking around with it, but have it done if you can."
