Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Ghanaian actress Lydia Forson shared how she battled fibroids for a decade in a recent interview.
Lydia declared that July has been designated as Fibroid Awareness Month when she made this statement.
In her post intended to support others in similar situations, the actress provided a detailed account of the pain she endured.
“July is Fibroid Awareness Month. To the women who’ve had to live in constant pain, multiple surgeries, questions about children, if you’re pregnant because of how you look, or the fear that you never will; you’re not alone. I lived in pain for 10 years before I got help,” Forson wrote.
“Today I’m grateful that I don’t have to live in so much pain, grateful that no one else will find me on a bathroom floor too paralyzed to move. Grateful that I don’t have to be rushed into an emergency and even more grateful that I’m alive to share my story when some aren’t,” she added.
She commented that the most challenging aspect of the trip was not the operation itself, as she was fortunate to have excellent medical professionals who provided exceptional care.
She thus suggested that women should undergo medical examinations to confirm that they are disease-free.
“My story is a lot more complicated than I’ve shared, and this is just a summary. But to any woman reading this, I do hope you’re inspired to run tests, ask questions about your body, and also not feel so alone with the things you have to live with,” she further noted.
