Jenny Powell, 56, undergoes a hysterectomy performed by a robot after suffering with menopause as she shares update from hospital


The presenter, 56, who has spoken out about her severe menopause symptoms in the past, said she had suffered for 'so long.'

The high-tech remote-controlled machines were deployed by NHS Trusts to clear the backlog of women who missed out on vital operations during the Covid pandemic. While the devices cost just under £2 million each, they slash the time it takes to perform the delicate surgery, and as they also work with pinpoint accuracy it means patients recover faster. Jenny spoke candidly about her experience with perimenopause - the time before a woman’s periods stop - and said she didn't address her symptoms straight away and her condition became worse because she'd left it so long.
