Celebrated dancehall musician Samini has revealed that he had lived with hernia, a medical condition where an internal organ or fatty tissue bulges through a weak spot or opening in the surrounding muscle or tissue wall, for a decade.

‎
According to him, he lived with the ailments without knowing that he had been living with the abdominal disease since it didn’t show the usual signs.
‎
Speaking in a recent interview with the media, Samini indicated that the illness could have been triggered if he had not found out early.
‎
‎“I had kept hernia with me for 10 years. It didn’t burst out like the typical hernia we know. Growing up, we used to think hernia meant swollen testicles, but I didn’t know it could also be an abdominal issue that develops gradually,” he said.
‎
The “My Own” hitmaker said he eventually decided to have surgery after realizing the condition could worsen if ignored.
‎
‎“It took me about three months to fully recover. I kept it to myself and stayed calm throughout,” he added.

Samini shared his experience to raise awareness about health issues and to encourage people to seek medical attention whenever they notice unusual changes in their bodies.
