FIBROID.....Tell Us About Your Experience.





We all know what fibroid is and we all know that google has all the answers but what google cannot tell us is your personal experience.

When I hear or read that someone died from having fibroid,the shock and questions come pouring in...some women are told they cannot conceive unless their fibroid is cut off,some have theirs cut off right after giving birth.....what happens to those who cannot afford the medical procedure?Is there any local herbs that shrinks fibroid?


So many women are suffering from fibroid and some do not even know,they miss the signs and take it as an everyday occurrence or stomach pain.....Do you have unusual sharp pains?you should be worried,you know!

Its not easy being a woman is it?have you had fibroid?do you have now and the doctors have told you all the reasons why it shouldn't be cut off? Some woman went abroad to check hers and was told its lying too dangerous to be touched,she went back to Nigeria sad because it was blocking conception,her Doctor told her he could do it,he did but she died from internal bleeding.

Whats your situation?do the tablets prescribed to shrink it really help or worsen the situation?

Tell us your orthodox/un-orthodox route of getting rid of it.

IT IS WELL!

    1. Had my babies this year and was told I had a small sized fibroid doctors in house please enlighten me does this mean a thing?

    2. I had fibroid, was diagonised when i relocated to nigeria. The doctors said i can never concieve ., i came back to england and my gp said i can have kids even without taking it out. I opted for having an operation, i have beaitiful 2 and half old daughter. Most times people die, its cos of an operation gone wrong. Tablets, drugs, drinks and co cant shrink it. You only kill ur organs when u take all these. Visit a gp and get the best treatment as possible. Two out of 5 black women have fibroid. It is more common within thw black and asian community

    4. I found out I had fibriod when I was 21. Then I was still in uni and I went in for my annual pap test and the doctors cld swear I was pregnant. I went for an ultra sound and it was fibroid tumors. I was told that if I want to have kids I should have them within the next 2 yrs.

      4 yrs down the line I graduated school and moved back to Nigeria. The first doctor I went to just looked at me n guessed i had the fibroid. He also mentioned its affecting my fertility and needs to be removed. I ended up removing 14 fibroid tumors.

      After the operation I can't remember when last my stomach felt so flat and I felt so light. 4 months after the operation I got pregnant.

      My bf and I were already tlking about marriage bt we were so not ready for this pregnancy but when I told my parents they were surprisingly very supportive and didn't get angry cos of the pregnancy.

      Anyway at my first ultrasound last month. The doctor said I have little fibriods growing back already. So annoying. I know I can never go through that operation again. It was the hardest time of my life and I had a few complications from the surgery.

      At the end of the day our baby is a blessing and I can't wait to give birth. We will be tying the knot after the baby is born.

      Fibroid itself does not kill. Depending on the location it can cause complications during pregnancy or affect fertility or press on important organs (mine pressed on my bladder). Just be cautious and monitor its growth. There are actually a lot of ways to get rid of it these days without the operation but the operation is best if you want to get pregnant after. I think after my second child I will take out my womb completely. Thats the only way to get rid of it permanantly. Wish every other ladies out there with fibriod good luck.

  3. Stella thanks so much for bringing out this topic. I am 41 years old, just got married and planning to have children. I have been battling with uterine fibroid for the last 5 years, at first all my thinking was just heavy period, then heavy period with unstoppable clots then bleeding that lasted up to 10 days. I did surgery here in Texas last year Sep. The bleeding still continues with the previous symptoms. Now, am getting ready for another surgery on Nov 12. This is insane. I am hoping to read from others, may be I can find alternatives... Thanks so much and God bless u.

    2. Have the same and the doctor even suggested cutting of d womb if i cant bear the pains during my period and another told me she was going to put me on pills that will make me have menopause for 6 months, i was only 30 then and never born, God forbid!!! both doctors were in Germany, so i called my mum, i travelled back to Nigeria and we went to a woman that massages the womb, she massaged the wombs, put some herbs in there and gave me something to add in my tea, believe me i had no more pains, no more blood clots, my period lasted only 5 days instead of the 7-9 days for 2 years until it started again, so i went to a doctor again some months ago when it started again,who confirmed i was perfectly ok.
      I remembered the woman adviced me not carry anything heavy because it pushes down my womb, makes the blood not flow freely and when the blood doesn't flow easily, it clots and causes pain. But recently i have been carrying very heavy things as i am moving to a new apartment so this might be the cause as my doctor says i am ok. I think i have to travel back soon for another massage though and complete my second treatment.
      Well to cut long story short, i was suppose to go back for the second treatment but she told me after the second treatment anything i did unprotected would lead to pregnancy but as i was going thru divorce, i saw no need to go back for second treatment.the same woman told my sister she had fibroid even before doctors told her and gave her herbal medicine to take before her operation, Thank God, my sister is ok and has a baby too
      I normally don't believe in stuff like this but this experience changed all that.

    3. Wow! Do guys have kids?

      Delete
    4. Babes , those pills for menopause are just to stop your period for some time so the endometriosis can stop growing. An example is zoladex. It's because during your period, patches of endometriosis also respond to hormones produced by menstration. Hence, it "sheds " endometrial tissue outside the womb on other organs e.g bladder, bowel etc. If there's no period, this will stop. That's why it's recommended that one shd get pregnant ASAP
      The irony though is that it's extremely difficult to get pregnant with the disease! It's a vicious circle. I've been battling the disease for 10 years. Surgeries haven't helped hence acupunture

  6. Thanks Stella for raising core issues that trouble ladies and for giving us the latitude of expression. I am a doctor and a Christian (by the Grace of God). There is one question I always asked ladies who had come to me and had the diagnosis of "fibroid" made (leomyoma uteri) and that is: how many times have you aborted baby? Their answer are usually yes and many times. Then the solution question; Have you repented (mourned, humbled yourself with fasting before God) for those kids you killed? When they do, the results are usually positive. They are healed both in spirit and body. Beloved; fear God, spare the babies and spare yourselves of sorrows. Read the medical researches here;

    And the word of God; "Whoever sheds human blood, by humans shall their blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made mankind. Genesis 9:6
    If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us. 1 John 1:8

    1. With all due respect sir, fibroids don't result from abortions! As a matter of fact the usual saying is "Good girls get fibroids, bad girls get pregnant"! It can be taken care of surgically. If really small, can allow conception. The only real cure is hysterectomy(removal of the uterus)...but only people who have completed their family size prefer to do this. Thanks

    2. Oh pls anon 12:33, its not bcos 1 has aborted dat dey hav fibriods. I haven't had any abortion done. So b4 talkin do ur research well and don't say wat u don't know. OK

    5. I am a doctor. Abortions are not the cause of fibroids, infact fibroids grow more on 'virgin' wombs.

    7. Oh please! I am a Dr in the US and a sold out Christian, also a mother of an infant, and I have several fibroids, mostly subserosal, outside the womb! I have never had an abortion so please do not spread this notion. As a physician you should be sharing peer reviewed journal articles and not websites. Please don't help encourage people's ignorance, talk about the different types of fibroids and how common it is among black people!

      Delete
    8. This is a very silly and uneducative conclusion. I'm a 27 year old virgin and I've been battling with it for two years now. So please doctor know all, tell me when I had the abortion. Sometimes I feel like killing myself because this is becoming too much for me to bear. I've taken different herbs and I'm still taking it. I almost married the wrong man because of my fear of it. I just don't know what to do anymore. I'm tired of this life. You practice abstinence, its wahala again and my conscience will not let me have premarital sex. God please help me. This trial is becoming too much for me.

    9. Oh shut up. You are no doctor!!!!! It's annoying how people come on here saying "I'm a doctor" and then negate it with opinions that shouldn't come out of a baby's mouth. Next thing you will say breast cancer is related to abortions when in fact, these reproductive problems are sometimes more prevalent in women with no pregnancy history.
      If you want to preach, preach but leave out false and judgmental crap like you wrote above. It's because of people like you that Nigeria stalls because you fuel ignorance using religion.

I have been devastated learning that I have 3 fibroids in my body and I am wondering where they came from. All the symptoms listed I experience none. My tommy isn't big too but I have fibroid and I have been feeling really bad. Good girls will be having such challenges and the bad girls will be moving around freely. Life is unfair.

  9. i have them and i am just in my mid 20s, was diagnosed in july, meanwhile it was abdominal pains on my right side that took me to the hospital, where it was discovered that i had ovarian cyst, was about 5cm and the fibroids too. The ovarian cyst has gone but i still visit my gynae regularly. as for the fibroids, i am trying to manage them, i have down eating alot of food high in oestrogen that makes them grow. trying out holistic approach. moringa and turmeric are anti tumor spices that can help to stop the growth and shrink them until they disappear. dont think cause you are in your 20s you cant have them, some teenagers even have them. see your gynae!!!

I was pregnant at d time and d doctors told me I had to take off the baby cos there was no chance it would grow,and dat it was harmful to me. It hurt cos i was alrdy attached to my 3months baby especially as I hadn't taken in for the past five years. I had constant constipation,indigestion,heavy menstrual flow,painful sex and heartburn. My tummy was distended like I was pregnant.
      Thank God the surgery was successful. Did it in benin. As I was rolled into the theatre,cos I could barely stay up,i vowed to God to keep me alive. He fulfilled his part. I fulfilled my part. My tummy is flat now. I'm so happym. Each day I thank God. God I thank you. (tears in my eyes)

  13. I don't ve fibroid but I'm in d health profession, ve seen a lot of fibroid cases n its so alarming how gullible women can be wen it comes to ds issue. Many came to d hospital after having complicatn due to some herbs etc used to get rid of fibroid, d only solution is removal of d fibroid by surgery but if its tOo massive d entire uterus may be removed, possibility of recurrence is high even after surgery.
    So, ladies, if u re from a family with history of fibroid, pls start having kids as early as u can , if u ve fibroid already, seek medical assistance from a certified gynae, don't do Yem kem, Tianshi, etc. They cause more harms sometimes.
    May God help us. TOY

  14. Hi stella, I had mine between 2003 to 2009. Mine was without the heavy flow or stomach pain. I actually had my normal period but it grew with time. The symptoms were frequent urinating and bulging lower abdomen that u would make u think I was 8 months pregnant. But just before my wedding I had it removed by a good Dr in PH and. By gods grace I have 2 kid now.

  16. Stella, God bless you real good for this topic. It is a very touchy topic because I am involved and as I type this, tears are streaming down my face as I have reached my wits end, honestly I have.

    Stella, before I go on, I really want to appreciate you. Honestly, you won't know how your blog touches lives, but it does. You treat problems we face every day and you won't realise how God is using you. I patronise your blog every minute and I can't tell you how your blog has affected me positively.

    It all began in 2007, my menstruation bleeding became unusually heavy and painful. I graduated from using 3 sanitary pads (Always) to 10 in a day. I was worried and decided to visit a doctor. The doctor advised I go for scan and the scan revealed I had fibroids. By the way, my mum had fibroids too but it didn't affect child bearing and she removed her womb when I was in secondary school because she always had pains during her menstruation days. She had 5 kids, one died and now we are four.

    When the scan result was shown to me, I became scared, but after showing my doctor the result, he counselled me to do myectomy (removal of fibroids). In July 2007, I removed the fibroids. Prior to this, I noticed that anytime I tried having sex, it was unusually painful and no matter how hard my first boyfriend tried, he just couldn't penetrate. Instead, I was always bleeding. I didn't know what to make of this so I decided to stop trying to have sex. This was in 2005.

    When I did the surgery, I bled for like 4 weeks and I used 10 sanitary pads every single day. When I couldn't stand it anymore, I visited my doctor who gave me egg cote (don't know the spelling) and the bleeding stopped.
    My subsequent periods were very light and painless and I felt relieved and happy. However, my doctor advised me to get married asap and get pregnant immediately, but unfortunately, that hasn't happened.

    This is 2013, I am still single and my periods have become heavy again. In fact, I have graduated from using Always sanitary pad to using Lady Sept sanitary towel. I use 4/5 every day. I am confused, unhappy, miserable and I visit blogs just to get my mind off suicide.

    I am close to 40 and still have not had sex because each time I try, the man just can't penetrate and they end up leaving me. I don't want to undergo any scan because I am scared of the outcome. Myectomy isn't something I wish for my enemy. I've been a good girl my whole life. I first tried sex in 2005 when I was almost 30. I remember when I was young, an uncle of mine tried raping me but he couldn't penetrate although I felt pains, but my hymen remained intact. In fact, when I had the surgery in 2007, the doctor had a lot of difficulty in passing tube in my vagina. He had to ask me if I've ever had sex and I told him no, that it's been very painful to do so. He said the fibroids were the cause. After the surgery, my then boyfriend broke up with me and I've remained single since then. I tried having sex with other men but I was too tight and they had to let me go.

    Right now, I am single, no boyfriend, no man friend, no concubine, no married man, no one with a penis to call my own.

    I just don't know what to make of my life and I'm on the verge of breaking down completely.

    Abeg, ignore typos.

    My subsequent periods were very light and painless and I felt relieved and happy. However, my doctor advised me to get married asap and get pregnant immediately, but unfortunately, that hasn't happened.

    This is 2013, I am still single and my periods have become heavy again. In fact, I have graduated from using Always sanitary pad to using Lady Sept sanitary towel. I use 4/5 every day. I am confused, unhappy, miserable and I visit blogs just to get my mind off suicide.

    I am close to 40 and still have not had sex because each time I try, the man just can't penetrate and they end up leaving me. I don't want to undergo any scan because I am scared of the outcome. Myectomy isn't something I wish for my enemy. I've been a good girl my whole life. I first tried sex in 2005 when I was almost 30. I remember when I was young, an uncle of mine tried raping me but he couldn't penetrate although I felt pains, but my hymen remained intact. In fact, when I had the surgery in 2007, the doctor had a lot of difficulty in passing tube in my vagina. He had to ask me if I've ever had sex and I told him no, that it's been very painful to do so. He said the fibroids were the cause. After the surgery, my then boyfriend broke up with me and I've remained single since then. I tried having sex with other men but I was too tight and they had to let me go.

    Right now, I am single, no boyfriend, no man friend, no concubine, no married man, no one with a penis to call my own.

    I just don't know what to make of my life and I'm on the verge of breaking down completely.

    Abeg, ignore typos.

  20. Wow! Never had it and I pray not to..but I know its one painful growth.
    A friend of mine had it when she was pregnant for her first child. She was in so much pains. Doctors told her she had to eat a whole lot so that the baby could grow bigger than the fibrod growth to surpress it.
    She eventually had her baby via CS. Dunno if the fibrod was removed afterwards or what became of it.

    Secondly I know it could prevent a woman from getting pregnant. Someone once said when a woman has never being pregnant till 30yrs of age, she has a higher risk of having fibrod.

  29. I just had d surgery in July. The symptoms I experienced were stomach pain (especially around the area), frequent urinating ( cos the fibroid was pressing on my bladder) , heavy flow with clots and a big tummy. After the surgery, my flow is normal with no clots, tummy ache seriously reduced, tummy getting smaller. The only problem I'm facing is just wound dehiscence ie an area not closing completely after surgery. Still have a wound I'm treating but it's much better.

  30. My Dr's procedure for open myomectomy(Fibroid removal) is very special.Many pple may know this process.Its different cos you do not require blood transfusion after surgery. Open myomectomy is very bloody. Most times,drs do not take out all the tumors when the bleeding gets out of hand.To avoid this,he ties the uterus to stop blood flow and removes all tumors no matter how tiny.if you aint walking around on day 3, then na home problem be that o.He has a success rate of 100percent.Most of his patients ve kids today.if you know any Dr that uses this procedure,go for it!Do not waste precious time bleeding and taking herbs.Get it out of your womb and be free!The surgery is nothing to be afraid of.Delay is dangerous!

    1. 100% correct. Fibroids are caused excess protein in the body. Also by carcinogens. So avoid meat, dairy and any non natural foods. Also run for your life from cigarettes, insecticides, house hold cleaning fumes, generator and car fumes. Your liver needs to excrete the excess estrogen your body produces so say good bye to alcohol and caffiene. Cortisol which your body produces as a response to stress is also a trigger so stop worrying. DO NOT TAKE HERBS. Go to a gyny. There are so many good specialists - The Fibroid clinic @ St Nicholas Hospital, Lister Medical in Adeniyi Jones etc. The more fertile you are the more at risk you are. God bless you my sisters.

  39. Medically speaking, when any tissue in the body has undergone injury, one of its repair process is fibrosis, scaring etc. The womb is not an exception. When the womb has been exposed to "curettage" (as in D & C; dilatation and curettage) or STI's etc, the tissues will respond to repair itself and the "fibroid" is simply "fibrosis" gone awry. Any doctor who disputes this should go back and look well into his pathology on "tissue repairs". That you dispute it on this blog does not change the research findings that abortion causes fibroid. Well do know that there are other risks associated with abortions; depression, suicide, homicide and other psychological issues.

    Approximately 10% of women undergoing induced abortion suffer from immediate complications, of which one-fifth (2%) were considered major.19 However the majority of complications take time to develop and will not be apparent for days, months or even years. Major risks and complications of abortion are described, with citations to the medical literature, below.

    DEATH:

    Death Rates in Finland During the First Year Following Abortion, Miscarriage, or Delivery Compared to an Age Adjusted Population of Women Who Had Not Had Not Been Pregnant in the Previous Year
    According to the best record based study of deaths following pregnancy and abortion, a 1997 government funded study in Finland, women who abort are approximately four times more likely to die in the following year than women who carry their pregnancies to term. In addition, women who carry to term are only half as likely to die as women who were not pregnant.16 (Click here for more details on this important study.)

  44. Doctor at anonymous #62, let's go down to the basics; pathology (open your PATHOLOGICAL BASICS OF DISEASES BY KOTRAN) Tissue injury; when a tissue is injured what are the chronic repair modalities? Did they teach you about "fibrosis", scaring etc.? What is "fibroid" (leiomyoma uteri)? Is it not aggregation of fibrous tissues from the myometrium? How quickly you forgot the typical "whorled interlacing fascicles" seen on mycroscopy . . . doctor, if you do not know these basics, then kindly revisit your basic sciences, it is normal for doctors to make references. For your information, kindly read this research and see the other risks you might expose your patients to while performing abortions;
    http://afterabortion.org/1999/abortion-risks-a-list-of-major-physical-complications-related-to-abortion/

    Kindly note in this research citation that the death toll in "normal miscarriages" are nothing to be compared to induced abortions.

  55. To God be the glory. My ordeal with fibroid was a nasty one. I have 2 children. I never knew about it until my first pregnancy some years back. I woke up one morning with a sharp stomach ache and I couldn't move or do anything. I was rolling on the floor for over 30 mins the it stopped. I had the same the following morning so I decided to have a pregnancy test and it came out positive. Was really happy. Not until my first scan appointment at 12 weeks, that was when they realised I have fibroid and also it has affected the growth of the baby and the baby wasn't growing well. It was so bad that I was advised to do a medical termination. Two years after I got pregnant again and it started with the stomach ache again and had to call an ambulance and was rushed to early pregnancy unit and the checked me and informed me that it's the fibroid again and the cause of the pain is due to the fibroid fighting with the pregnancy and it's called fibroid degeneration. This occur when the blood supply is no longer feeding the fibroid. I go for scan every two weeks to measure the baby growth and they've predicted that I'll bleed a lot during labour. Am always all admission, one weeks, two weeks and so on. When my labour started I was given an injection to prevent the bleeding after delivery. To God be the glory, I deliver my baby without any pain killer and didn't bleed at all. With my second baby, the fibroid didn't disturb me at all. The doctors suggested that I remove it after childbirth but they disappeared afterward.

    And for the person dat said abortion causes it, u are so wrong!!! I have neva had an abortion in my life.

I wish i had d liver to be a bad girl...but i love the Lord too much to even attempt it so i;m trusting Him for total healing.

  58. Hi @ Dr. Ada. Thanks for your input and thank God for the fact that you are a "solid Christian". I heaved a sigh of relief knowing that my abortion is not the cause of my fibroid. But sure fibroid is a tumor (a benign one). What do you have to say about this scripture where the Lord told the Israelites that the consequences of sexual perversion: idolatry is "tumors". Deuteronomy 28: 27 “The Lord will punish you with boils, like those he sent on the Egyptians. He will punish you with tumors, sores that run, and an itch that cannot be cured.

    Sure the scriptures say in Colossians 3:5 (New Testament) that sexual immorality is idolatry? My fear is that if God had said in the Bible that the consequences of sexual immorality is tumors, then fibroid tumor might just be one of such. It doesn't appear as if the doctors know it all. Who do we believe, doctors or the word of God? My bros who is a doctor once told me that whenever doctors do not know the diagnosis of a disease, they call it "idiopathic'; I googled it and it seems to be true. Folks what do you think? Doesn't it look like the doctors need to do more researches on these things especially those that know God?

  60. @ Dr. Ada, You called a government funded study in Finland a wrong citation in a forum like this? Well, you are a Dr in the USA and a "solid Christian". I am also a doctor and I don't think Finland is inferior to USA in terms of medical awareness. I am persuaded that you did not even take time to read the research referred to in the first place. If you had a fibroid and never had an abortion, did the research findings suggest that abortions are exclusively the cause of fibroids? Why not be a more balanced doctor lady and pander to the tenets of this noble profession dear "solid Christian"? For your information the definite cause of fibroids (leiomyomata) is still "unknown" ("idiopathic" well to medical science). Why don't you quote your "peer reviewed journals' for the benefit of folks in this forum? Let's say that in this age of "legalization of abortions in the USA" and the political interests involved, so many well meaning researches are not going to be sponsored or accepted by certain physicians like you. How many researches have you done on the subject; Dr. Ada? Kindly educate us. God bless you.

  61. A laparoscopic myomectomy is the very best method of fibroid removal. An embryologist in Port Harcourt (Save a life hospital at number 9 circular road, GRA junction, Port Harcourt) performs this perfectly. As a matter of fact, he deals in every fertility challenge possible with. Wry high success rates. Laparoscopic myomectomy is a virtually bloodless procedure ever, and you can go home the very same day, not stressful at all. Please do your research and be informed.

I've read the webpage he referred us and I think anyone that has issues should read it. Shebi auntie Stella say make we provide our "personal experiences". The doctor provided his clinic experiences and supported it with a study done in Finland sponsored by the government there. The study made references to American journal of Gynecology. For anyone to be able to type on this forum; it means he/she has got basic education. Abeg make una carry softly. By the way, let other doctors tell us their "clinic experiences and researches they've read".

  64. researchers found that compared to women who carried to term, women who aborted in the year prior to their deaths were 60 percent more likely to die of natural causes, seven times more likely to die of suicide, four times more likely to die of injuries related to accidents, and 14 times more likely to die from homicide.

    Researchers believe the higher rate of deaths related to accidents and homicide may be linked to higher rates of suicidal or risk-taking behavior.16 (Click here for details on the latest research regarding abortion associated deaths.)

    The leading causes of abortion related maternal deaths within a week of the surgery are hemorrhage, infection, embolism, anesthesia, and undiagnosed ectopic pregnancies. Legal abortion is reported as the fifth leading cause of maternal death in the United States, though in fact it is recognized that most abortion-related deaths are not officially reported as such.2 (Click here for more details on the underreporting of abortion related deaths in the U.S.)

The second found that the risk of death increases with each abortion, 45% after one abortion, 114% after two abortions, and 192 percent after three or more abortions.

    For a complete review of the literature see Deaths associated with abortion compared to childbirth: a review of new and old data and the medical and legal implications (2004).

    CERVICAL, OVARIAN, AND LIVER CANCER:
    Women with a history of one abortion face a 2.3 times higher risk of having cervical cancer, compared to women with no history of abortion. Women with two or more abortions face a 4.92 relative risk. Similar elevated risks of subsequent ovarian and liver cancer have also been linked to single and multiple abortions. These increased cancer rates for post-aborted women may be linked to the unnatural disruption of the hormonal changes which accompany pregnancy and untreated cervical damage or to increased stress and the negative impact of stress on the immune system.4

    UTERINE PERFORATION:
    Between 2 and 3% of all abortion patients may suffer perforation of their uterus, yet most of these injuries will remain undiagnosed and untreated unless laparoscopic visualization is performed.5 Such an examination may be useful when beginning an abortion malpractice suit. The risk of uterine perforation is increased for women who have previously given birth and for those who receive general anesthesia at the time of the abortion.(6) Uterine damage may result in complications in later pregnancies and may eventually evolve into problems which require a hysterectomy, which itself may result in a number of additional complications and injuries including osteoporosis.

    CERVICAL LACERATIONS:
    Significant cervical lacerations requiring sutures occur in at least one percent of first trimester abortions. Lesser lacerations, or micro fractures, which would normally not be treated may also result in long term reproductive damage. Latent post-abortion cervical damage may result in subsequent cervical incompetence, premature delivery, and complications of labor. The risk of cervical damage is greater for teenagers, for second trimester abortions, and when practitioners fail to use laminaria for dilation of the cervix.7

    PLACENTA PREVIA:
    Abortion increases the risk of placenta previa in later pregnancies (a life threatening condition for both the mother and her wanted pregnancy) by seven to fifteen fold. Abnormal development of the placenta due to uterine damage increases the risk of fetal malformation, perinatal death, and excessive bleeding during labor.8

  66. SUBSEQUENT PRE-TERM DELIVERIES AND OTHER COMPLICATIONS OF LABOR:
    Women who had one, two, or more previous induced abortions are, respectively, 1.89, 2.66, or 2.03 times more likely to have a subsequent pre-term delivery, compared to women who carry to term. Prior induced abortion not only increased the risk of premature delivery, it also increased the risk of delayed delivery. Women who had one, two, or more induced abortions are, respectively, 1.89, 2.61, and 2.23 times more likely to have a post-term delivery (over 42 weeks).17 Pre-term delivery increases the risk of neonatal death and handicaps.

    HANDICAPPED NEWBORNS IN LATER PREGNANCIES:
    Abortion is associated with cervical and uterine damage which may increase the risk of premature delivery, complications of labor and abnormal development of the placenta in later pregnancies. These reproductive complications are the leading causes of handicaps among newborns.9

    ECTOPIC PREGNANCY:
    Abortion is significantly related to an increased risk of subsequent ectopic pregnancies. Ectopic pregnancies, in turn, are life threatening and may result in reduced fertility.10

    PELVIC INFLAMMATORY DISEASE (PID):
    PID is a potentially life threatening disease which can lead to an increased risk of ectopic pregnancy and reduced fertility. Of patients who have a chlamydia infection at the time of the abortion, 23% will develop PID within 4 weeks. Studies have found that 20 to 27% of patients seeking abortion have a chlamydia infection. Approximately 5% of patients who are not infected by chlamydia develop PID within 4 weeks after a first trimester abortion. It is therefore reasonable to expect that abortion providers should screen for and treat such infections prior to an abortion.11

    ENDOMETRITIS:
    Endometritis is a post-abortion risk for all women, but especially for teenagers, who are 2.5 times more likely than women 20-29 to acquire endometritis following abortion.12

    IMMEDIATE COMPLICATIONS:
    Approximately 10% of women undergoing elective abortion will suffer immediate complications, of which approximately one-fifth (2%) are considered life threatening. The nine most common major complications which can occur at the time of an abortion are: infection, excessive bleeding, embolism, ripping or perforation of the uterus, anesthesia complications, convulsions, hemorrhage, cervical injury, and endotoxic shock. The most common “minor” complications include: infection, bleeding, fever, second degree burns, chronic abdominal pain, vomiting, gastro-intestinal disturbances, and Rh sensitization.13

    INCREASED RISKS FOR WOMEN SEEKING MULTIPLE ABORTIONS:
    In general, most of the studies cited above reflect risk factors for women who undergo a single abortion. These same studies show that women who have multiple abortions face a much greater risk of experiencing these complications. This point is especially noteworthy since approximately 45% of all abortions are for repeat aborters.

  67. LOWER GENERAL HEALTH:
    In a survey of 1428 women researchers found that pregnancy loss, and particularly losses due to induced abortion, was significantly associated with an overall lower health. Multiple abortions correlated to an even lower evaluation of “present health.” While miscarriage was detrimental to health, abortion was found to have a greater correlation to poor health. These findings support previous research which reported that during the year following an abortion women visited their family doctors 80% more for all reasons and 180% more for psychosocial reasons. The authors also found that “if a partner is present and not supportive, the miscarriage rate is more than double and the abortion rate is four times greater than if he is present and supportive. If the partner is absent the abortion rate is six times greater.” (15)

    This finding is supported by a 1984 study that examined the amount of health care sought by women during a year before and a year after their induced abortions. The researchers found that on average, there was an 80 percent increase in the number of doctor visits and a 180 percent increase in doctor visits for psychosocial reasons after abortion.18

    INCREASED RISK FOR CONTRIBUTING HEALTH RISK FACTORS:
    Abortion is significantly linked to behavioral changes such as promiscuity, smoking, drug abuse, and eating disorders which all contribute to increased risks of health problems. For example, promiscuity and abortion are each linked to increased rates of PID and ectopic pregnancies. Which contributes most is unclear, but apportionment may be irrelevant if the promiscuity is itself a reaction to post- abortion trauma or loss of self esteem.

    INCREASED RISKS FOR TEENAGERS:
    Teenagers, who account for about 30 percent of all abortions, are also at much high risk of suffering many abortion related complications. This is true of both immediate complications, and of long-term reproductive damage.14

  73. Thank you Stella for accommodating all shades of opinion in this blog. That is what civilization is all about. For the folks who attacked the dr at no 6, my problem is that every research findings is from abroad. Why are Nigerian doctors not doing researches? If it is in the developed world where I live, the doctors in this forum will take up those experiences he had with ladies in his clinic and put it to research and get the world enlightened. Our doctors in Naija seems to be living so many centuries ago when some folks were burnt at the stake for saying that the earth is round. How is it now; isn't ignorance very costly?

  75. I discovered i had fibroid at 28yrs,which resulted to 3miscarriages.on my 4th pregancy ,it was growing as the baby was growing got to a time the side of the fibroid was bigger than the baby side.

    During the course of the pregancy ,they discovered 2 others.

    eventually at 28weeks & 3days(7months) ,i went into labour and gave birth.

    i am planning of having the fibroids operated on but when i met my consultant,and she was saying we might take part of the womb in the process.

    i decided i would rather try for another baby & go through the pain again than regreting later.

    Is Abortion Linked to Breast Cancer?
    Why is it hard to talk about abortion and breast cancer?
    Abortion and breast cancer are both topics that can bring out strong feelings in people. The issue of abortion is often linked to personal and political viewpoints – even without a possible disease connection. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women (aside from skin cancer), and it’s the second leading cancer killer in women. Because it can be a deadly disease, it’s one that many women fear.

    Linking these topics creates a great deal of emotion and debate. But scientific research studies have not found a cause-and-effect relationship between abortion and breast cancer.

    Ask your doctor husband one question; What is known medically to cause fibroid? And he will tell you "it is of unknown cause". That is true. Then ask him, what are you doing to find out . . . and the answer is likely going to be "nothing". Someone mentioned his findings from his clinic data, why doesn't he take it up from there and save our daughters and sisters of sorrows?

  81. @anonymous #117, I really empathize with you. Everything that has a beginning has got an end. God in his mercy will heal you. But please, that is not any reason to think of "killing yourself"; that is not a way out; is it? I pray that your soul will find peace; real peace. It is heartwarming that you "have done everything you know", but please be careful about herbs because they can add kidney failure to your problems. Have you fasted and prayed and asked the Lord for help. We are all sinners and even the wicked people at Nineveh did fast and pray and called upon God and he saved them. By the way please know that "abstinence, and being a virgin" are good, in fact, God commends that . . . but please know that to inherit eternal life is a different ballgame entirely. Only faith in the savior Jesus can guarantee that. May the Lord heal you dear.

    Research on abortion and breast cancer
    Research study problems

    Many studies have looked at a possible link between abortions and an increased risk of breast cancer. But because of the nature of the topic, these studies have been hard to do. This may help explain why study findings vary.

    Before 1973, induced abortions were illegal in much of the United States. So when researchers asked a woman about past pregnancies, she may not have felt safe saying that she had an illegal abortion. Even though abortion is now legal, it is still a very personal, private matter that many women do not like to talk about.

    Studies have also shown that healthy women are less likely to report that they have had induced abortions. In contrast, women with breast cancer are more likely to accurately report their reproductive histories. This may be because they are searching their memories for anything that may be linked to the cancer.

    The likelihood that women who have breast cancer will give a more complete account of their abortions than women who do not have breast cancer is an example of recall bias. Recall bias like this can sometimes cause studies to find links that may not exist.

  88. Yes, that research has got nothing to do with "fibroid" but the ill effects of abortions. I am happy that my colleagues read them and saw what they subject our sisters to when they do abortions; did you know that before? After reading it, will you continue to abort babies? And the boyfriends that tell ladies that you love them but once she gets pregnant you want her to abort, did you see what she is being subjected to? And you ladies that submit to abortions, did you see the things you wish yourself; do you really love yourself?

    I mentioned the questions I asked my patients and what I tell them to do which helped them because Stella asked us to submit both "orthodox and non-orthodox" means of approach to the issue in question. That does not mean that I did not do every other thing required of me as a doctor; all the investigations and recommendation of myomectomy etc. Medically, it is not proven that abortions cause fibroids (mainly because of the emotion attached to the reality of such proofs). And to the doctors, when you're taking medical histories, don't you ask for "family and social history" even sexual histories. So such questions I asked isn't out of place in medicine. And my advice to those who are Christians (but had had abortions) aren't out of place either.

    But let me mention that the "attack from the doctors" and others came because I mentioned "repentance, fasting and praying". Why didn't they condemn "herbs" as advocated by others (even though medically they know that it can cause kidney failure). They are all busy asking for the phone numbers of those that supply the herbs.

    Thanks Stella for being very mature in your blog and postings. I am very happy that folks have read the things abortions can cause to our ladies. And for all that cursed me; God bless you all.

    And especially to Dr. Ada, be sure that you do not join all the "sold out Christians" in the USA to abort babies in the name of being a Physician. Remember that your obligation is to Christ first.

    God bless all the folks that cursed me.

  90. Hi All,it was after i got pregnant that i discovered i had fibroid (outside of my uterus).it was during the 8weeks scan,when i was told there might be complications.
    Such as red degeneration,which happened when i was 6months,on a sunday morning.It was truly painful and i had 2change hospitals cos i got a shabby treatment at the 1st hospital where i had my antenatal. The doctor on duty asked me why i forgot my drugs in my haste to get to d hospital(Imagine!) and ontop of that,he never even bothered to check if the baby was alright....I was given a drug at the other hospital which took the pain away.I thank God that everything went smoothly and i delivered a baby through caesarian operation. I will say that there's nothing God cannot do. It's also good to ensure to have an experienced doctor./good hospital

  92. 3 years ago i was having really bad pelvic pains and had to go to a clinic to check it out. after all the tests and scans carried out on me, the doctor informed i had fibroid growths and referred me to a gynecologist. The gynecologist and i extensively discussed the options i had. Because of the size and location of the tumors, my options were
    1, do absolutely nothing...just watch and observe.
    2,take lupron injections to shrink the fibroids (advisable to be used when one wants to undergo surgery and needs to shrink the fibroids just before the operation). If after shrinking the womb still lies fallow, the fibroid would grow even bigger than the original size
    3, surgery to take out the fibroids (laparotomy or laproscopy). If after shrinking the womb still lies fallow, the fibroid would grow even bigger than the original size
    4, surgery to take out the womb (an option for women past child bearing years)


    Now, i have multiple tumors of which the largest was 5cm. i have really heavy bleeding and period lasting 10days. but i was 26, my boyfriend and i were not ready to get married and i wasnt ready to have kids yet so i took the first option of waiting and observing.. i go for scans at least twice a year to monitor the growth, take iron capsules to replenish my blood cells ( i became anemic due to the heavy bleeding) and made life style changes (eating healthy, drinking lots of water and exercises). My mother and 2 older sisters both have fibroids. My elder sister even found out about them when she was pregnant with her second child.

    Fast forward 3years after, Now my boyfriend and i are ready to have kids. i intend to go for surgery soon to take out the fibroids and make room for the foetus. I would do the laparatomy because i have multiple fibroids and the surgeon needs to see them all and take them out.
    My mom is against the idea of surgery because she hates surgery and insists i get pregnant and see what happens. But she isnt a doctor and even though her intentions are understandable, her solution is wrong.

    All im saying in essence is, each woman is different. What works for one person might not work for the next. pls dont follow the crowd. If you have unusual heavy bleeding, or are sure you have fibroids, go talk to your gynecologist. It is only a benign tumor, it is not cancerous. It wouldnt kill you, only ignorance(the kind the so called Dr BC and colleagues displayed on here) would kill you..

  93. Stella this is a very good topic that affects so many women. I have had mine since 2011, but because it wasn't disturbing me my doctor advice that I live it as removing it will mean me getting pregnant immediately and unfortunately I am yet to meet the right guy. Right now it has grown a bit bigger and the same doctor advice that I remove it. I am a bit scared of some herbs in order not to damage the organs in my body. I have thought of surgery lately, but a bit scared right now after reading some post surgery comments. I am really confused.

  94. Yes, both anon 3:18 and 11:24pm are so right! Also Probiotics are good bacteria that should always be taken as supplement to suppress the efficiency of bad bacteria in the body system. However, in addition to what should be AVOIDED, foods or snacks that contains Monosodium Glutamate (MSG), which is also referred to as FOOD ENHANCER or FLAVOUR (and sometimes written as E621). It can be found in for e.g stock cubes such as Knorr cubes, Maggi cubes (though Maggi now has a NON-MSG version), Ajinomoto (mainly MSG), canned and processed foods, noodles' sauces/soup mixes etc. Read food labels and avoid this acidic ingredient (MSG) which is extremely dangerous to the body system.

    Also to be avoided by females/ladies are products that contain PARABENS (such as methylparabens, propylparabens and butyl parabens) which usually boost or mimic female hormone called Estrogen. They are fondly used as PRESERVATIVES in most products such as, Hair Relaxers/ Shampoos, hair Conditioners, some Roll-ons, some body spray, soaps, foundations, cosmetics in general, body and hair creams/lotions, etc. Read products' labels before purchasing them and avoid PARABENS products. Also, Soya beans (or Soy products) should be avoided as they are high in Estrogen (hormones) which result in suppressing Progesterone (hormones) and thereby causing hormonal imbalance in women. Lastly, ladies should avoid anything SWEET from chocolate to ice-cream, cakes, sodas (such as Fanta, coke etc) or drinks such as La Case... etc, if you can't do without taking them, dilute extensively with water just to give it taste or rather take lemon juice without or little sugar. Also, you can always include a slice of lemon in your water for taste. May the Good Lord heal ALL those trusting HIM for healing and may HE perfect every healing in Jesus' name, amen!

  95. Nice post Stella well done. Though i don't have fibroid and i won't have by Gods grace, but my mum has. What i have heard is when you get to you menopause it shrinks because there is no blood feeding the fibroid again. Please can the Dr.'s in the house confirm this please. Thank you.

  99. FX Stella publishes my comment. I was diagnosed with 2 fibroids a few years ago. I had surgery to remove them, and they haven't resurfaced. I think a healthy way of eating, among other things, is required to prevent fibroids, as most of our foods here are pro-fibroids, endo, and PCOS. We have a 30 day diet challenge going on at www.thefruitfulkitchen.wordpress.com feel free to join us!

  100. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading all ur comments and the first thing that African women need to know is dt once dey start to. Have deir monthly period, they need to stop taking drugs dat have folic acid and vitamin E. Because those r drugs dat pregnant women should use to aid the growth of deir babies in the womb when they are pregnant. So when a woman who has started having her monthly period but I not yet ready for babies takes Dese drugs, d information she is passing to d body and reproductive organs is dat she wants something to grow. So if not a baby, what else? Fibroid!!!!!!!! For all those who say dey ve fibroid and it keeps growing bak after surgery, let dem check d composition of d drugs dey r taking, let dem start to take viscum album otherwise known as mistle toe guava. Mistle toe tea guava taken over a period of 6 months to a year not only shrinks fibroid but totally prevents a re growth. I could give a million stories about dis special African drug hut for those who are really interested to know more can call on 08099831318

  101. Stella thanks very much for this topic, because Uterine fibroids are very prevalent in Nigeria now and there is a latest herbal supplement C24/7 from Natures way that has over 22,000 phyto nutrients including 12mushrooms that is Anti-cancer and anti-tumor. It is clinically tested and you dont need to go for operations any more with C24/7.

  103. I am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world has crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could leave a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the herbal world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could severe, cos I heard that the African Herbs had a cure to the Herpes syndrome. It was after a little time searching the web that I came across one Dr Itua(A powerful African Herbal Doctor), who offered to help me at a monetary fee. I had to comply as this was my final bus-stop to receiving a perfect healing. My last resolve was to take my life by myself, should this plan fail. At last it worked out well. He gave me some steps to follow and I meticulously carried out all his instructions. Last month, to be precise, I went back to the hospital to conduct another test and to my amazement, the results showed that negative,, You can free yourself of this Herpes virus by consulting this great African Herbal Doctor via this e-mail: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com or call and whatsapp him on +2348149277967 He will help you and his herb medication is sure. he has the cure on all disease .

  104. An amazing testimony on on how i conceive, also cure from fibroid, i wonder why people still don't believe that roots and herbs are very essential and fruitful in different aspect, especially when you can't conceive and bear children. I am a living witness because I tried all I could to be pregnant but all to no avail, on this faithful day, i decided to check the net for updates on healthy living and i came across testimonies of lot of women who Ahiga has helped with his native herbs to conceive. i decided to put a try because this has been my greatest problem in life so I emailed Ahiga, and he told me what to do which i did, after which he sent me some roots and herbs syrup and gave me step by step guild lines on how and when to have sex with my man. I missed my menstrual flow within a short period of taking it, and the doctor confirmed that I am pregnant. I am very glad to tell the world that I just put to bed a bouncing baby boy last week. Contact Ahiga for your own testimony on: (ahigahealing@yahoo.com).
