Fibroid Fighters
Добавлен 9 ноя 2020
The Fibroid Fighters Foundation is a public welfare organization created to advance the cause of women's health and the safe, effective treatment of uterine fibroids. Our mission is to educate people about the social, economical, and health effects of uterine fibroids through advocating for further research.
Fibroids affect 1 in 3 women, and 80% of African American women have fibroids. With so many women affected by this disease, you would think the most common treatment offered would be less invasive than a hysterectomy. Unfortunately, hysterectomy--the complete or partial removal of the female reproductive system--is the most common treatment offered for fibroids.
Women are often told they must suffer through their symptoms or get a hysterectomy. It is the Fibroid Fighters Foundation's goal to end this silence and break the behavior that surrounds fibroid diagnosis and treatment to increase the awareness for safer, effective fibroid treatments such as uterine fibroid embolization.

I didn't know anything about and don't wish this on no women this is painful
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I have fibroids and endometriosis. I've had laparoscopic surgery twice for the endo. and am seeing a surgeon soon about my largest fibroid which is about the size of an orange. These conditions are miserable and there is not enough information or treatment options available. My new OB/GYN almost immediately pushed me toward a partial hysterectomy, and that just seems crazy to me. But I guess we'll see. Best of luck to all and God bless.
Many of us women are suffering everyday with this fibroid struggle. Some of these doctors really don’t help at all. Took me about 3 years to find out about UFE. When I would go to my OBGYN about this issue all they told me was I could get surgeries or certain treatments but it could potentially compromise my uterus. Another nurse told me there was nothing I could do about it until menopause which is when they go away. She also said to take birth control and that didn’t help either. They never want to get to root of the problem. Very well said Shay and your helping many women today with your story ❤
I too have fibroids so glad to hear that celebrities are dealing with this too ❤
I also have a cyst also
I have been dealing with heavy bleeding since May and it’s to the point I have to where black pants every day, because it always find a way to go through about 3 pads, and I’m so fatigued, have cramps and even tired and weak. I’m anemic also, I found out I have fibroids also. It’s really a lot and it really drains me, I have 3 children and I’m scared, I feel like I even get light headed sometimes. But I’m here to share my story, I’m ready to speak out about it, because it definitely messes up your day to day life. Yea! it cause me to be very irritated to, I feel like I’m pushing people away because I’m so grumpy. I’m not myself at all.
I am so sorry about what you are going through! Make sure to rest, take Iron with Vitamin B12 and Vitamin C together for anemia, beef liver, check your vitamin D level because if deficient it can cause fibroids growth, research pomegranate and serraptase supplements. Good Luck!
I ended up having a hysterectomy in February. I was losing so much blood that I passed out at the mall, on top of having 7 fibroids. I'm now pain and issue free.
Rescently i have daignose two large size fabroid and multiple fabriod with cyst.plz pray for me.i want to conceive.thnx.plz guide me
I don't have a support system. I just found out through ultrasound I have multiple grapefruit size. I'm still emotional about it. I'm feeling the same as described. It hurts to be in fatigue and pain all the time. I heard about them possibly coming back and that's why I'm thinking about the natural way. I believe my severe anemia is why they came about and heavy periods. Pray for me if yall read this pls
Yes, I am here . In the name of Jesus touch her body Heavenly Father! I have four fibroids , one sits on bladder
@@makishacox6100 thank you, praying for you too!
Many Blessings And Prayers Your Way🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾💪🏾 Many Of Us Been Dealing With It But I'm Glad We Are Not Alone! Yes I'm Doing Natural Things And It Takes Time But It Helps!! Diet Change And Exercise Plays A Huge Roll
Thanks for sharing your story😢😢😢
Watching this currently 4 weeks, 4 days post op from a full abdominal hysterectomy. I’m 36 and was diagnosed with fibroids back in 2022. The fibroids were so large that my uterus was the size of a 38 week pregnant woman. I had only had complications since 2019, but didn’t think anything of it because I’ve always had menstrual cramps. I talked to my GYN and a myomectomy as well as UFE were given as an option but, with the same warnings that they could return or the UFE may not work since the fibroids we so large and there were so many of them! I made the hardest decision of my life by getting a hysterectomy but, I don’t regret it at all! No more painful periods, no more oversized uterus that wouldn’t allow me to lay on my stomach and causing me to have sciatic nerve pain! Explore all of your options and do what’s best for you and your situation! A hysterectomy is not ideal for everyone and every situation. But, I’m definitely glad I did it
I’m so sorry that they took your uterus. They could have done a myomectomy to remove them. Especially if you were at the stage in life where you wanted children. The first offer they made to me was to take my uterus and I was absolutely NOT going to give it to them. I wanted to be a mother. Yes they usually grow back if you don’t make changes . They could t take all of mine out , because I wanted my fertility preserved. But I did get pregnant and give birth to an amazing miracle child. Such a blessing . The doctor removed a small. Fibroid and showed it to me after I gave birth. Since having the larger ones removed , I have not had the problems I had prior to the surgery ( excruciating pain, vlog clots, fatigue, back pain etc) I’m sure I still have some in there but they don’t cause me suffering. They may be preventing pregnancy but I don’t regret keeping my uterus. Hopefully as I get older they should shrink. I’m glad you found relief though. Did the hysterectomy accelerate menopause for you or necessitate you being on hormones?
I'm on day 3 of laparoscopic myomectomy surgery recovery and I'm glad I came across this video. Thanks Toya for sharing this insight ❤️
Isn't it funny how mostly African American women suffer from fibroids.
I'm going through the same thing now no kids 42 but no insurance 3 blood transfusions I just get sent back home I'm just giving up it's really depressing
I’m sorry to hear that. How are you feeling now? There are some studies that show green tea extract and vitamin d have helped some women shrink their fibroids, granted the symptoms were not as severe;look into them. I wish you well.
I have the same issue but don't have any insurance can't get no help I have had like 3 blood transfusion but still no help but some stuff I can Say it's been on me also where I be depressed and just wanna give up!!
Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for sharing!
I unfortunately lost my uterus to a dishonest doctor 😢 my pathology result only showed polyps 😢 i need my life back! My joy my peace 😭😭
What exactly is the UFE treatment?? they mention it and do not explain what it is....
I am now going through this and I don’t know what to do… I have been dealing with this for years and I am open to share my story💜
See an obgyn! Look for a specialist who does fibroid removal. Look into dietary changes for shrinking fibroids.
Rapper?
I just had a 15cm and 4 smaller one’s removed. Should be able to try to get pregnant this summer!
I wish I was near you to guide me on my journey. Because am living it as we speak I have 8 Fibroids and have to get surgery in May coming. I feel fainted on a daily basis for over 2 years now with no help at all.
I love Toya she’s naturally beautiful, didn’t know she went through this, the things people go through behind close doors. We as women go through so much. Glad she shared her story.
Rapper ???
This amazing thank you for sharing ! I wonder why in society we as women have to be on hush about our menstrual cycles.
Thanks for sharing your Story I glad I not the only one🤗
Just found out I have this smh 🤦♀️
YES LORD
Thank you! I am currently going through this issue and I know/knew nothing about fibroids until I had a MRI on my spine. That's when they saw them.

I'm so happy more and more people are sharing their story....We are NOT alone...blessings to all
Thank you 🙏🏽 💖...... But God is good ..
Fibroids are normal in black women. I had them also they were removed surgically.
I went through this last year. I kept telling my doctor for years that something was wrong. I was overlooked. It took for me to go to a fertility doctor to find out why I wasn’t getting pregnant. Little did I know I had 5 fibroids. I went back to my doctor she finally did an ultrasound and confirmed it. She wanted to do a hysterectomy and I said I’m trying to have a baby. Then I came across another doctor who did the surgery to remove them. I’m still not pregnant and scared to death of them coming back. I suffered for years and no one listened to me.
Keep going to the doctor to see if there are fibroids preventing pregnancy. Keep trying. If you want a baby try and don’t take it like you have forever . Be diligent because the fibroids do grow and even when removed if you don’t change your diet and stop using things with chemical estrogens and having dairy and 🥩 ( commercial) etc they will grow back.
Don’t be “ scared to death”. They won’t kill you. But they can be a major inconvenience and cause of suffering. But I’ve heard women tell that they shrank theirs through dietary changes and lifestyle.
This is a subject that she addressed so professionally .
