Angelica Panganiban Suffering From This Condition

In a new video, Angelica Panganiban shares something about her condition.

Kapamilya actress Angelica Panganiban shares in her new vlog that she has Avascular Necrosis, something she finally decided to share with the people.

I have Avascular Necrosis

This is the title of the new vlog of Kapamilya actress Angelica Panganiban. She shared that she has a condition called avascular necrosis. This is a condition characterized by temporary or permanent loss of blood supply to the bone.

Due to this, it will result in the death of bone tissue and bone collapse. If this happens near a joint, this joint will collapse.

In the video, the actress shared that she started to feel the symptoms when she was in her 6th month of pregnancy. She felt this pain in her hips but she couldn’t tell where the pain was in particular as she could feel it in her back, legs, hips, and buttocks.

According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, this disease is a result of the following factors:

  • Injury
  • Fracture
  • Damage to blood vessels
  • Long-term use of medicines, such as corticosteroids
  • Excessive, long-term use of alcohol
  • Specific chronic medical conditions

Panganiban initially thought that the hip pain was just a part of the pregnancy. However, her thoughts changed when she started working out again months after she gave birth. There were circumstances in the pain that limited her movement and carrying Bean would always cause pain to her hips.

On her first consultation, a liquid was spotted in her groin. She was still breastfeeding her baby at that time which is why she decided to do the therapy instead to ease the pain. The therapy lasted for two months but the relief it brought her only lasted for a week.

But there was this one time that the pain became unbearable for her. She was already crying because of it and that was when Gregg Homan, Angelica’s partner, decided to bring her to a hospital.

She underwent an MRI and the cause had been detected. According to her, it has been found that the bones in her hips are dying, hence, the pain and the discomfort she gets whenever she’s moving.

Angelica shared in her video that she is currently doing a more conservative procedure to treat her condition. She was told that a replacement is an option but she was too fearful to do this.
