The Loose Women presenter shared the pictures to grab fans’ attention.
Nadia wrote that she was “worried sick” about health problems.
The actress used the hashtags ‘women’s health’, ‘Hysteroscopy’ and ‘womb wellness’ to spread awareness.
These hashtags revealed that she had undergone a procedure called a Hysteroscopy to examine the inside of her womb.
If you have been worrying about any symptoms you’ve been experiencing, to bite the bullet and get yourself seen!
However, she was given the all-clear by doctors on Monday.
Additionally, the caption read: “The only reason I’m posting these pics is because I want to catch your eye and urge you, if you have been worrying about any symptoms you’ve been experiencing, to bite the bullet and get yourself seen!
“Delaying things will only cause more worry.
“I’m not going to lie. I’ve been worried sick myself recently but I was given the all-clear on Monday!”

“Don’t delay. Make the call. You know it makes sense. Big hugs love Nads.”

Similarly, fans even shared their own experiences of having a hysteroscopy.
One fan wrote: “This! I’ve been over worrying for weeks but prioritised family life! (Mum of 4!) I went, and I was relieved when all was fine!”
