Sultry Nigerian actress Ini Dima-Okojie has taken to her social media account to announce the return of fibroids she treated no fewer than three years ago.
The thespian who disclosed in a post on her Instagram page on July 17, while updating her fans about her health challenges stated that she is surprised that it has returned after undergoing invasive surgery to remove it years ago.
She said; “I want to share something important with you today. If you’ve been following me, you would probably know that before the end of 2020, I had a myomectomy, which is an invasive surgery to take out fibroids.
‘‘The surgery was successful; my doctor removed every single fibroid and I healed well. It’s been 3 years since the surgery and unfortunately, the fibroids are back.”
While recognizing the emotional toll of this setback, she stated that the news has been difficult for her and that she has no plans to undergo another surgery to get them removed.
Ini said; “It’s very disheartening and it hasn’t been the easiest couple of months but I’m okay. I’ve come to terms with it, and I definitely don’t want to do another surgery anytime soon. This time I want to take a holistic approach towards shrinking the fibroids.”
The actress added, “I just thought it was important to share and it wasn’t easy. I remember the first time I shared my story and how many women felt seen and many people shared their stories with me.”
