Thank you sharing your story. It is quite often women go to these doctors requesting for certain exams to be conducted based on this fear and often time we are talked out of what’s not necessarily needed to be done. Most of these doctors need to stop treating us this way and should honor our requests because it’s our bodies and we know what we feel in them.
I've been going through the same thing since I was 15 I'm now 44 and finally found a doctor to agree that I need a hysterectomy I'm a little scared & stressed out.I was told I have several Fibroids
@Karena Jones before you have your surgery, please consider asking your doctor about another alternative. There may be a way that you can spare your uterus and ovaries, but still get rid of the fibroids. There’s a minimum surgical procedure that blocks the blood vessels supplying the blood to the tumors. Some experts call this procedure “Fibroid Artery Embolization”, or FAE. Millions of women have successfully had this procedure for over the past twenty years or so. Many have continued to bear children after having FAE. This procedure is often performed under the guidance of a radiologist. Only two very small slits are cut into the abdominal pelvic area: one for a tiny camera and the other for small surgical instruments. So recovery is very rapid. Most patients may have only an overnight hospital stay for observation, and can return to work, school or their normal routine and schedules within a couple of days. Best of all, the fibroids shrink down dramatically, the pain is relieved, and the heavy periods stop. If you want to avoid major surgery, please get some other medical opinions if your current doctor doesn’t agree to consider you for this procedure. I wish you all the best Karena Jones and my prayers are with you and your family. 🙏🏾
After 40 when you know you don’t want any more children … ( there’s also adoption). Fibroid Artery Embolization did NOT HELP ME nor many other of my friends who also had the procedure! The bleeding slowed BUT THE PAIN was worst . Pain so severe getting in the way of work & life! Finally finding a Surgeon to do my Hysterectomy was the only way if relief. Never felt better. side note: bring God into whatever Surgical Procedure you decide! Prayer works!
I have 3-5 fibroids. Every hospital I go to, they tell me I can't work after the surgery for 4-6 weeks. I don't have anyone to take care of me. And I can't be without work for that long. I am 44 & I look pregnant and I hate it, but my options are limited. I have had three blood transfusions.
@@mariecampbell3373 I stayed alone after my surgery .. just make sure you don’t lift anything!! Or bend . Clean 🧼 your house extra good before your surgery… Wash clothes, mop, vacuum sweep 🧹clean & do everything! stock up your fridge have plenty of ready made drinks stocked. Keep your phone charged & on you at all times. Taxi Uber to your check ups! ( and as an extra .. I got my hair done 💇🏽♀ beforehand too) Put 2 sets of clean sheets on your bed so all u have to do week 1 Is rip off old & new is already to go 🙂and lay back down.
I have fibroid and I want to have kids and be a mother. The thought of a hysterectomy even the word scares me. I pray I can have them removed another way.
Thank you Melanie for sharing your story. So glad you stayed persistent and found the right health care. I pray that you have continued blessings, good health and a fertile future.
You have my maximum respect Dr Igudia, I am now negative from Genital Herpes after I did the test, I wonder what might have become of me it I didn't get the herbal cure From your RUclips channel. God bless you sir
Wow I am currently going through this process of what to do about my fibroids.. I have been back and forth to the Dr's all This week. Thank you for sharing this video. My Dr suggested codliver oil wraps to help with bleeding.
Ovarian cysts are different from fibroids, most of the women in mg family, myself and most of my female friends have had ovarian cysts. And I'm sure the older women too but back in the day there wasn't any sonograms. We know now because of sonogram machines because if not, they would have just diagnosed it as a random stomach pain. They usually come in your mid/late teenage years. It must be something about the hormones because they got better after I started using birth control pills and got pregnant. Milk has steroids in them so that coupled with hormones must affect the ovaries.
I used to think this but it isn’t true. Black women simply produce more estrogen than other women. Fibroids are a hormone issue. I’ve never had relaxers and just found out I had a large fibroid - Chinese women and Indian women also have issues with fibroids- ancient Chinese medicine has helped many women decrease their fibroids but it takes a lot of time 😩
DIET DIET DIET. WE (BLACK WOMEN) ARE IN DANGER AND MUST PROTECT OUR FERTILITY AT ALL COSTS. YOU ARE BRAVE FOR SHARING YOUR STORY. WISH YOU WELL! Negative comments will not get a response ❤️
100% agree! Protecting our fertility is vital. I've always had painful menstrual cycles and at 38 and recently married, I had no choice but to figure out what's been going on. Praying I'll at least be able to have 1 child. Holding onto hope... P.S for those of you ready to comment on my age and child bearing, save it. I'm well aware of my age. I chose to get married later so by default I've chosen to deal with what comes with having children at my age.
@@nev2943 thank you for your reply! Try using deodorant and body soap without chemicals, and have sxx 4 days after your period ends, and continue until you’re wore out 🤣 good luck! ♥️

I have fibroids. Fertility messages and diet can help.

Hair relaxers and other toxic chemicals, maybe?
Clearly not
I'm natural and this has nothing to do with it, it's diet
It's true black women use a lot of chemicals for hair and beauty products these are endocrine disruptors that cause excess estrogen

Ladies please limit your birth control options. Too many hormones!
I’ve never taken any birth control and I developed Fibroids, so you can’t say that.
I read birth control triggers the fibroids to get bigger and also diet has alot to do with it.
@@crystalcormier9376Tampons make them grow bigger. Research all the toxins in Tampons on Google.
I have fibroids to and want to do a ufe
Thank you for this as I'm going through this as well. I'd like to know what method of getting rid of fibroids was the most effective for her/you?
Just found out I have fibroids and yes its painful. Thankfully its after I have had my 3 children
I understand that they are very painful.
Yes

Kaiser did me so wrong for years. Now I’m dealing with cyst on my ovaries. Lord 😭
Thanks Young Lady I appreciate you!
he should just do it right the first time! change ur diet & meds, etc.
try another doctor! he's Banking on you 🙏🏽🙏🏽
I’m grateful she shared her story
Dr. Milad is the best ❤
It’s the relaxers that we use in our hair as little girls. It seeps into our pores.
I don't use relaxers and get them, absolutely nothing to do with each other
That's what I heard too. Wherever they come from why do it always affect black women more?
