This was great! I went almost 40 yrs with normal periods and then BAM! Heavy long periods. I called my black female doctor immediately and she told me it was a sign of getting older. I knew something wasn't right so I saw another doctor who told me I had fibroids. I had no clue what that was never heard about them and I felt alone. I thought I did something to cause this. This conversation is going to help some many young girl and women. Thank you ladies for sharing, it has truly helped me during my journey.
I feel like if this was affecting white women more than black women that science would be quicker to find a cure, as a black woman I know what it’s like as I suffer with this disease, please ladies do your research for yourselves and if you need to? Get a second opinion, don’t just accept hysterectomy unless that’s the only option that is best for your situation dealing with this.
For years, I've known something was wrong with me. I knew my monthly cycles were too heavy, painful and long. I have looked like I'm seven months pregnant for years being a petite woman. I've had several doctors disregard my concerns with one even telling me I just gained weight in my stomach which is very hard. Last week, I finally had a doctor tell me I have several fibroids one being very large. The doctor asked me if I wanted more children several times before suggesting a partial hysterectomy. I am 42yrs old with a 21yr old and a 16yr old. I do not want any more children so I'm okay with the hysterectomy. I had a choice between choosing a white female doctor and a foreign male doctor. I did not want a male doctor, but I took a chance. Every doctor that dismissed my concerns were white. I'm looking forward to my surgery and getting better. For years I have been depressed about my stomach, the painful periods and knowing something was wrong.
I love this conversation, we need to normalize talking about our periods and abnormalities. We can actually help/empower one another more when we’re open! I’m 31 y.o, a nurse & navigating fibroids and the disruptive symptoms. Sending love and healing to all and thanking the women & men who were apart of this conversation!
💯
Fibroids are not only affecting black women, I'm E European and i was diagnosed with fibroids - the biggest one is about 12 cm. I also have another 3 friends that went through the same journey. All that the doctors are offering is hysterectomy. One of my friend did the surgery and she said it was the best thing she could have done, my other friend decided to wait for the menopause because she was in her late 40's. I found out about the UFE procedure after searching online and now I don't know what to do. I'm 52 but still have my period.....should i wait for the menopause or should I do the UFE? I've heard that after UFE women are in excruciating pain....i'm scared
Use Agbara herbal powder to completely shrunk your Fibroid, Remember Fibroids are abnormal growths that develop in or on a woman's uterus. Sometimes these tumors become quite large and cause severe abdominal pain and heavy periods, pelvic pain, miscarriages. In other cases, they cause no signs or symptoms at all. The growths are typically benign, or noncancerous.But With Agbara Herbal Medication, This will Be completely cured,,,,Remember surgery does not removed or cured Fibroid,
What did you decide?
Thanks so much for this!

How do we get add because I have fibroids for a year and just got the surgery and I feel fantastic lighter flow
I wish they would have focused more on natural ways to SHRINK fibroids such as managing your weight, healthy dieting and minimizing stress. What they all seemed to fail to mention is that fibroids return despite minimally invasive surgeries and the surgeries are VERY painful…Address the core issue of why they may happen as opposed to all the surgeries that will TEMPORARILY treat them.
Because there is none ( except weird internet "Dr's"herb that always want to scam Black women) and there is none identified known cause. What is for sure is that Black women everywhere tend to have them more than others and younger. So obviously there is huge part of genetic we can't unfortunately control. We have to understand that not all illness can be avoided or are due to diet or the actions of the person. Obviously being healthy should ALWAYS be the way to go as it helps with SO MANY things (diabetes, heart attacks, pregnancies, mobility as you get older etc...) and maybe it could lower that overall number but we don't know that. We do not. And the number would still be high even if maybe it had an impact as what we know for certain is that genetic plays a part so we can't promise an individual woman that it will do anything. I am French/Congolese but also lived in the US and no matter where Black women live and their diet or healthy lifestyle they have more fibroids. I am surrounded by healthy black women in France and Congo with the best diet and many have fibroids more than my white friends in France although their diet is clearly worse. And still those Black women feel guilty because it is said ( not by science but the Internet) that it is because of their diet. In Congo processed food is not a thing. Sugar or milk is not a thing. People cook from scratch and eat a very low sugar/carb diet, with many veggies and fish. They also walk all the time. Still they are facing this issue. The reason Africans did not get "destroyed" by covid like the West is because of the population's diet a young metabolic healthy population thanks to their diet.
So what can we say to all those Black women who are already healthy...
Until they clearly find a reason other than genetic if they ever found one, the best we can do is educate black woman that it is a real issue in our community so do check up with your Dr.. If it runs in your family you're also more likely to have it so be aware of your family history. And if you want to have kids do not wait naively while thinking it will be easy at 35 and more if you can have them earlier and your situation is right do not wait just for the sake of waiting.
And to finish with your point, we know for certain that obesity is an obstacle to an healthy pregnancy AND we also know that genetically black women tend to have more fibroids so Black women increase your chase and make sure to be healthy when it comes to your diet as at least we still have control on that. As also as you said there is no light surgery that can fix this issue long term.
I wish there were control studies done between Fibroids in black women in America vs an other big country in Africa where processed food has not become the norm yet like Congo. To see if although fibroids is still higher in the black community than others, does the diet has an impact. Big, small or none overall? But I have never seen or heard of such studies... If it was a white women issue there will be studies left and right. But as medical research is run by them.... Why would they care.
I agree. There needs to more research on why women even get them. What's happening on a molecule level on why our uterine cells abnormally multiply. I did the natural way only to help my symptoms, my anemia, my hormone levels, my energy, etc. And why does it affect black women more than any other race. I watched a lot of workshops, etc. And none have an endocrinologist. I don't know why more doctors aren't looking into this on a hormonal level as well. Im 52, had a hysterectomy. I was tired, mentally, and emotionally. But all the information Ive learned through my research, I share. The conversation has to keep moving forward. The stigma history of women's reproductive health care has to be dealt with as well.
@@housemusicharris2218 did you have or desire kids before you had the surgery?
@@itschrischriss my kids are 28 and 22. I had got my tubes tied after my youngest, and was on Depo Provera shot. Let me tell it, the Depo caused my fibroids.
@@housemusicharris2218 how do you feel now? Glad you did it? How's your energy now? Thx
Where is the petition to sign?
28:01/ that's my monthly life smh
women need to be able have a conversations, documentaries, and videos. about their female experiences, without men, butting in trying to put their opinion in. You know.........
the way men don't want females to be in their man stuff.
Why you had to go through an organization to talk about fibroids like y'all have to get paid to talk about this y'all can't just go on your social media and talk about fibroids like come on now y'all getting paid that's why you're speaking about it 🤔
