In an emotional video she shared on her Instagram page, actress Ini Dima-Okojie says she was recently diagnosed with fibroids for the second time. She went on to recount that she received her first diagnosis in 2017 and had invasive surgery to remove the growths in 2020.
She said;"Hey guys I want to share something important with you today, so if you been following me you will probably know that, towards the end of 2020 I had a Myectomy which is an invasive surgery to take out fibroids. The surgery was successful, my doctor took out every single fibroids, I healed well .
it's been 3 years since the surgery but unfortunately the fibroids are back, which you know obviously is very disheartening..
It hasn't been like easiest couple of months but I'm okay, I have come to terms with it. I definitely don't want to do another surgery anytime soon,so this time I want to take a holistic approach in shrinking the fibroids..you know back by faith.
So..yeah, I just thought you know that it was important to share, obviously is not
easy to share like honestly i went back and forth or whether or not I should but I just remember the first time I shared my story and how impactful it was so many women...........
I remember the first time she shared it and I was over the moon because this things are women's related.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry dear, you have overcome before, you will again.
Please that bv who had fibroids and did surgery and the one seeking for natural remedies that year, hope you guys are ok out there? please holla let's know you're ok.
You are healed and you will pull through this...I noticed she wasn't so cheerful during Sharon's wedding maybe this was heavy on her mind...It is well...
DeleteFibroids grows mainly on women that stays long before child bearing. Unless you get pregnant and have a baby, the growth will continue. It is not a disease.
DeleteAnon, caucasian women also stay long without kids but it's not as common as in black women. Fibroid has been linked to hair relaxers. Search for the recent documentary. This link to relaxers has been mentioned for years; I decided to quit relaxers 5 years ago and don't plan to go back.
DeleteYou lie anon 14:34. I have a cousin who had her first child (out of wedlock)at 14 , she latter married at 20 she is 35year now with three kids. She actually left her husband four, two other miscarriages. She left her husband 4years ago because he cheated. And yes, she has fibroids .
DeleteHer elders sister also got pregnant at 16, her first marriage produced three kids, then she remarried and had a son before her husband traveled out two years ago.She also has fibroid now and she's 40yrs old
Hmmmm. Fibroid is pure evil. This monster has shown me shege banza. Always anaemic despite all the don't do this, don't eat that, don't drink this, don't use that....I cried listening to her. God will come through for us.
Delete15.25, about five of my aunts from both parents' sieds, who had fibroids never ever used relaxers and they started child-bearing before the age of twenty-two.
DeleteGo to most hospitals in the UK and look at the women having surgery and they are white women suffering with fibroids. It affects all races. With some of them turning into cancer. Fibroid is linked to hormone issues which needs to be balanced
DeleteAh....so sorry dear. I pray you are totally healed
ReplyDeleteThat fibroid is a very stubborn something..I wish there is a way to shrink it permanently..my friend that had her own removed in 2017 it came back again she removed it in 2020 again,the monster is back again..
ReplyDeleteVery stubborn o and draining. Drains emotionally, financially etc. God's permanent healing I pray for you Inidima 🙏
DeleteIt's very stubborn
DeleteTruly everyone is going through one thing or the other in this life
DeleteThere is, change diet and lifestyle. Cut out all processed food and fizzy drinks and alcohol. Anything with soy or soya needs to be removed from your diet. We have a natural remedy in Nigeria called Aidan fruit. If drank twice a day this will naturally shrink fibroids. This is after making other lifestyle choices first
DeletePray about it, God heals people from.fibrouds and watch your diet. Don't eat bread, msg stuff, eat a lot of fruits and vegetables above all pray like never before evil growth go commot for road
ReplyDeleteThis is what I have been battling for years now without any solution, except surgery. Which I don't even want to think of, since it does not effect the akpa nwa.
ReplyDeleteAlthough it's not easy but dieting helps a whole lot, if you can stick to it.
And no, the shrinking method is not advisable. It's dangerous to your health.
Apart from dieting, Stop putting relaxer on your hair first. E get why.
I'm sending love to every woman battling this demon called fibroid.
All that pains every month?😭
It is well with us.🙏🙏🙏😍😍💙💙🤗🤗🤗
Awww Apples🤗

Hello iya boys
It is well with you dear ♥️
DeletePele dear @ Apples. You're healed in Jesus name 🙏
DeleteFibroids can increase in size, shrink, or remain the same. What do you mean by shrinking is dangerous to health?
DeleteEhugs dear
DeleteThanks my lovelies.🙏😍
DeleteApple, doctors have lied to you that shrinking is dangerous to health so they won't run out of their business 😂
DeleteIt is well with you ini
ReplyDeleteOne thing if a Lady did not take in after the Fibroid Operation I heard it grows back oooo
It happens to my elder sister
Let her go herbal
It is well with you dear🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hello iya boys
Haaaa,it is well with you dear
ReplyDeleteSorry about that but I would have preferred another surgery but that's just me
ReplyDeleteDivine healing dear
ReplyDeleteOh so sorry to hear this. I had same surgery 2009 and every single one of the fibroids was removed. I healed well and had my first Child in 2013. Late last year, I noticed that my period is heavier again with the attendant dizziness and more bleeding days. We were like it cant be fibroid again. Went to hospital and after scans and test, its fibroid once again. I am done with Child bearing and we are considering total removal of the uterus. The pain and discomfort is out of here. God blessed us with 3 children of both sexes who are healthy and thriving. So total removal is our sure bet. I understand the pains she is dealing with and for a young lady that do not have a child yet, i can feel her pains. Ini should talk to her doctors and above all trust that God will perfect it all. My Surgery is in 3 weeks. Keep me in your prayers dear BVs
ReplyDeleteI pray for a successful surgery for you
DeleteI wish you a successful one🙏
DeletePraying for your successful surgery. God will come thru for you 👏
DeleteMay you have a successful surgery by God's grace. Here is sending you love ❤️❤️
DeletePlease freeze your eggs before removing your uterus.
DeleteGod's grace with the surgery!
Wishing you a successful surgery in Jesus name 🙏
DeleteIt's well dear ❤
DeleteMy mum also did the total removal of her uterus, she only gave birth to 2 children (My elder brother and I) and now her only daughter also has this stubborn, emotional, and financially draining fibroid.
I pray God’s grace upon your surgery. His angels will stand guard and it will be successful, in Jesus Christ name, Amen 🙏.
DeleteHealings upon you dear

You used the right word @ Justyswt is a principality that can be only overcomed with prayers and real organic diet! After an invasive surgery in London; and proper diagnosis in the US for diet! I was shopping from only wholefoods in the US! Now lie! I moved to the Middle East same wahala! Is in Nigeria now, that I have peace of mind! I have been taking communion everyday and I work from home! After my first invasive surgery!I focused on God! I bled for 15 years heavily; but you see this God! He gave me a lot of revelation and secrets of globalist agenda and satan's army on earth.
DeleteI carry my natural hair now, I don't even do braids anymore; I just know that doing away with everything artificial helped.
I am almost 50 and my reproductive biology is squeaky clean.
Live right and worship God always! Fibroid is a demonic affliction on ignorant people; who live anyhow. I remember my jamo female obgyn in NY them telling me to have a child out of wedlock! Thank God I focused on God.
You must stay fasted and seek God to overcome this evil 😈 principalities in guise of fibroid.
Same here o, this organic diet and going natural helps alot but people are ignorant of it.
DeleteDivine healing upon you ini
ReplyDeleteCan rich Black ppl donate money into fibroids research? Even those of us of lesser means can also contribute. We need to have a mind for investigating and finding remedies to health issues that predominantly affect our ppl. There are many scientists who would be happy to do the research, we have the well trained personnel but research is costly and requires funds.
ReplyDeleteI am exhausted hearing about this matter. Every second black woman has fibroids. It’s an epidemic and we are treating it as though it is not. This parasitic thing attaching itself to the reproductive organs needs to be eliminated.
It is disheartening to hear stories on fibroid, God shows mercy on women but I have done research and find out that early marriage and child bearing is solutions to this nemesis to woman hood because our mothers and northern woman who marry early don't suffer this, I pray for divine healing for all women. We love you
DeleteNo be everybody go marry and born early nau, Grace is different
DeleteWhether you married early or not, it can come. One of my sister got married at 16 yrs ,had all her children early .
DeleteInfact, she was a grand mother at 45 yrs yet she had fibroid.
Fibroid can shrink via intensive exercises and avoiding certain foods.
And yes, it's actually demonic....
May God heal her permanently, nothing is too much or impossible for this our Baba God.
ReplyDeleteThere is a Black American woman from Louisiana in the US that sell herbs who someone close to me and other posts on social media believe her herbal teas are effective. I don't think Stella will post if I post her name. May you be healed in Jesus name.
ReplyDeleteMay God heal you Ini and everyone battling fibroid and any other diseases🙏
ReplyDeleteI empathize with women battling fibroids. From my experience in naturopathy, I believe that surgery is not the best solution for treating fibroids because it does not address the root cause. The causes of fibroids vary from individual to individual and can include poor diet, hormonal imbalances, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), obesity, exposure to pesticides, increased estrogen levels, and poor metabolism, among others.
ReplyDeleteIt is essential to identify and address the underlying cause naturally. This way, even if surgery is performed, the fibroids are less likely to grow back since the root cause within the body is addressed. Certain foods, such as dairy products and sugars, can contribute to the regrowth of fibroids.
Don't wait until the fibroids become large. Taking early action to manage and treat the root causes can help prevent their growth.
APT!
DeleteThis is what I'm battling with, I can't even do surgery for many reasons, I have an appointment with a Gynaecologist next month, I don't know if they can find a solution for me without surgery, because i read online that there are several permanent solutions without surgery, though not in Nigeria, maybe Nigeria too has advanced in the cure, we never can tell.
ReplyDeleteDrink prekese also called Aidan fruit. Check it on tick toc. It worked and cleared my fibroids in a few months. After making serious lifestyle choices. It also helps with conceiving quickly
DeleteDivine healing upon you Ini Dima
ReplyDeletefibroids is a demon.but I heard change of diet helps
ReplyDeleteIt helps alot.
DeleteIt is well with you Ini Dima
ReplyDeleteI understand her pain and how frustrating it is, I pray God come through for her.
ReplyDeleteDivine healing upon you Ini and other women battling fibroid 🙏
ReplyDeleteMay God perfect his healing upon you Ini.
ReplyDeleteI am alive today just by the grace and mercy of God.... been living with fibroids for years now,my period is always hell for me....my blood level is always low..it is well with my me.
ReplyDeleteGod forbid that thing! It is evil, I mean demonic. I thank God for taking me through that surgery and keeping me alive
