She thought fibroid surgery was the best and last option, but she was wrong

Mrs. Chinasa, a big business owner tells story of her fibroid pains and the recent surgery for the removal which she thought was her last option. She used this medium to advice ladies who are going through such pains. 

“I choose to tell you my story today. Number one, I keep everything in my life under wraps because of the negativity out there. 90 percent of my life doesn’t make it to the Internet. I’ve been through a lot in my life but I’ll let you read all the truth in my book and watch on my reality show “Building Your Business”. A lot of people send me DMs and emails saying how perfect I am, how they want to be like me, how strong I am; Asking how I manage to run 20 businesses and take care of my 2 kids at the same time. I promised myself to always keep going to encourage the people I inspire. 

This powerful string woman you see is not perfect. I have my pains, I cry too especially when I’m misjudged, have been betrayed and stabbed in the back severally by friends but I promised myself I was going to make a change for ladies who are determined to make it through genuinely, so I put all my talent to use. When I had My Son, Eric, I bled all through the pregnancy, not knowing I was even pregnant till about 5 months. 3 years after I had him, I was having stomach pains and bleeding heavily through my periods. I went to my gynecologist, he said I had 3 small fibroids and a big size one. We agreed to take them out through laparoscopic surgery.  

I woke up thinking it was done. He said it was on my womb, that I would lose my womb if he did it. I didn’t sign for them to open me up, that they had to do it through major surgery. he said one was on my bladder which made me pee myself when I cough in public and it have me terrible back pains and leg pains. He advised me to have another baby before the surgery. Years after, I got pregnant with my daughter (Eunice) despite the consequences, my partner insisted I had the baby. I found out I was pregnant at 4 months like the first time cause I was having periods due to the fibroids. At 5 months, I was bedridden, I had a lot of pains from the pregnancy. I went to my gynecologist. he said I had something called “Red degeneration” where the fibroids suck the blood from the baby and doesn’t make it grow. The same day, I found out I had gestational diabetes. I thought I was going to lose the baby, they changed my diet, I went through non-stop pains till about 7 months, later the baby started growing well and so were the 4 fibroids. They put my sugar levels on check during this period.”  

To cut the story short, i thank God for my partner and mother-in-law who stood by me all through; taking care of me and with prayers. They never doubted me once.
During this period, I couldn’t walk, eat, bath myself not talk. Thanks to my partner and sister, they used to bath me. The pain stopped at about 7 months, after my birthday on the 3rd of August, I was having fun with family at Midas Arena, I started bleeding chunks of blood nonstop. I was rushed to Hospital and collapsed when we got there. They stopped the bleeding and pleaded with me to do the surgery but I kept postponing it because I didn’t want to lose my womb.

It happened again but this time, I couldn’t hesitate anymore and they took the 4 fibroids out and saved my womb. I thought that was the end of it but to my greatest surprise, I started experiencing the symptoms again after 3years have gone and went for another checkup and guess what, It’s unbelievable, Fibroids again!!! I started sorting for other means of getting rid of this threatening killer disease, not until I stumbled into this natural therapy on the site. I had my doubt at first but I tell you I took the risk. Today it’s been over five years from then and nothing like such symptoms have surfaced, not to talk of fibroid itself.

WHAT ARE FIBROIDS THEN?

Fibroids are muscular benign (not cancerous) tumors that grow in the wall of the uterus (womb). Another medical term for fibroids is "leiomyoma" or "myoma". Fibroids can grow as a single tumor, or many in the uterus. They can be as small as an apple seed or as big as a grapefruit. they tend to grow bigger in size during pregnancy.

 WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS?

•   Heavy bleeding (which can be heavy enough to cause anemia) or painful periods
•   Feeling of fullness in the pelvic area (lower stomach area)
•   Enlargement of the lower abdomen
•   Frequent urination
•   Pain during sex
•   Lower back pain
•   Complications during pregnancy and labour, including a six-time greater risk of cesarean section
•   Reproductive problems, such as infertility etc. 

DO YOU KNOW THAT…
Women with fibroids are more likely to have problems during pregnancy and delivery? This doesn't mean there will be problems. The most common problems seen in pregnant women with fibroids are:

• Cesarean section. The risk of needing a C-section is six times greater for women with fibroids.
• Baby is breech. The baby is not positioned well for vaginal delivery.
• Labor fails to progress.
• Placental abruption. The placenta breaks away from the wall of the uterus before delivery. When this happens, the fetus does not get enough oxygen.
• Preterm delivery.
