New Delhi: Legendary actress Mumtaz recently made news after she was hospitalised in Mumbai. Mumtaz was admitted to the hospital for a week because of a stomach illness. And now that she's out of the hospital and talking about her health. In an interview with a news portal, the veteran actress said that she suffers from both Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Colitis and that the unexpected episode of diarrhoea aggravated matters for her, after which she was taken to Mumbai's Breach Candy Hospital.

After suffering from a "sudden attack of diarrhoea," the Bollywood star confessed that it took her body seven days to return to normal. 

Talking to ETimes, the actress revealed, “I suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Colitis both. It was a sudden attack of diarrhoea which did not stop despite the best of medication. Hence, hospitalisation was required. In the hospital too, it took me seven days to normalise.”

Mumtaz had a lot of problems at the hospital because of her sensitive skin. Also, the seasoned actress said that she had been on a drip for the whole week. She revealed, “My skin was giving me a lot of trouble. Being an Iranian, my skin is very delicate. I was on a drip for an entire week in the hospital. The injection of the drip could only be inserted in my right hand; my left hand could not be used because my lymph nodes were removed when I had contracted breast cancer 25 years ago.”

As a breast cancer survivor herself, she has been a devoted fighter for others who have been affected by the disease.
