One of them is Kenyan media personality Grace Msalame, a mother of two lovely girls who says that her fibroids emerged 2 years ago and the doctor suggested she should ignore it. "He said it would disappear and sure enough it did."
Last year I started having heavy bleeding which lasted for 7-8 days and I would have painful cramps.I knew something was wrong but I was afraid of going to the doctor because I was afraid of him confirming the worst.When I went to the doctor he found my fibroid had grown to 7 cm - 10cm and there were little ones surrounding it.
Grace adds,
I went through open surgery immediately.
I have been through cs before and I thought I would not have had an easy time snapping back to health.
But I think that is the toughest journey I have come out of, I don’t know if it because I am older.
It was a journey and it affects your esteem, after the surgery it takes time to get back to your former body.
Grace says that at some point people assumed she had fibroids because her uterus was ’empty’.
This is because her twins are 8 and she has no other kids. In conclusion, she says,
They were removed and all we are doing now is to pray and hope that they don’t reoccur as the only solution to fibroids is to have the uterus removed (hysterectomy).
According to google, fibroids can be removed through surgery, leaving the uterus in place. If the fibroids are few in number, you and your doctor may opt for a laparoscopic or robotic procedure, which uses slender instruments inserted through small incisions in your abdomen to remove the fibroids from your uterus.
