Ghanaian reggae and dancehall artist Samini revealed he lived with an undiagnosed hernia for a decade before having it surgically removed. The musician told Dr. Assan's Lifestyle and Health Show that the condition went undetected because it lacked typical symptoms.
Samini said his understanding of hernias was limited to visible testicular swelling from childhood observations. He later learned the medical issue can manifest as a gradual abdominal problem without obvious external signs.
The performer chose surgery after recognizing potential risks of leaving the condition untreated. Recovery took about three months, which he managed privately without public disclosure.
Samini shared his medical journey to promote health awareness and encourage prompt medical consultation when people notice bodily changes. The award-winning musician hopes his experience will motivate others to address unusual physical symptoms.
