SINÉAD O'CONNOR has revealed she hasn't let a man touch her body since she had an emergency hysterectomy in 2015.
The 54-year-old, whose memoir Rememberings is published today, said that the last man to ever touch her was the surgeon who performed the operation.
Speaking to People magazine, Ms O'Connor said: "The last man that touched my body took out my reproductive system.
"I've not let a man touch my body in any way since."
She said she had the emergency hysterectomy in order to treat endometriosis, but the operation left her feeling suicidal at times, leading her to post a number of videos on social media asking for help.
"When I had the surgery, I was terribly triggered... I was mental," she said.
"But I don't regret those 'embarrassing' videos. I’m quite proud, in a weird way, that I was that open. The nature of a singer is to be emotionally honest.
"I've always been pretty open. And I have no regrets."
The Nothing Compares 2U singer has since been diagnosed with bi-polar disorder and has fortnightly check-ins with her medical team.
Sinead said: "I manage very well because I’ve been taught brilliant skills. There was a lot of therapy.
"It's about focusing on the things that bring you peace as opposed to what makes you feel unstable."
