Jenny Powell makes plea for women's healthcare after decade-long battle


EXCLUSIVE: TV host Jenny Powell has told how she underwent a life-changing hysterectomy four months ago after enduring years of increasingly debilitating symptoms

Speaking to OK!, Jenny emphasises one of her key takeaways: women's health needs to be prioritised much more, telling us: "I eventually had an MRI and they told me that my uterus was the size as if I was about 16 weeks pregnant. Jenny shared her experience online - and it attracted a huge amount of attention (Image: Instagram) She adds, "It was so big it was pressing on my intestines, on my bladder, on my kidneys. Jenny has worked in television for more than 30 years (Image: No Name)"I had terrible bleeding, really bad, to the point where I was changing four times a day and in a job like mine, that isn't good."
