dear friends, I am a very private person as u all know and I have gone back and forth in my mind whether to share that this year I have been recovering from laparoscopic surgery to remove 6 fibroid tumours from my uterus. the tumours were pretty huge, the size of 2 cooking apples ? ?, 3 kiwis ? ? ? and a couple of ??. a fruit bowl of pain everyday. the nurse said that the weight and size was like being 6 months pregnant. I tried to be brave but it was excruciating at times and to be honest I started to doubt if my body would ever feel the same again. I had surgery in December and I was so scared, despite lots of love from friends and family I felt really alone and my confidence as a woman was knocked. but… today whilst dancing with Kelly at the choreography house I felt like my strong self again for the first time in a while and it was magical. thank you precious body for healing, thank you for reminding me to be kind to myself, you are a wonderful thing, now go create and be other once again <3 I know that a lot of women suffer from fibroid tumours and I just wanted to say after my experience that you are amazing warriors and that you are not alone. you can get through this. and with this I let go of the pain… love always twigs ?

Fibroid-what it is?

Also called uterine fibroids or leiomyomas, they are benign smooth muscle tumors. The cause is unknown but it affects females in the reproductive period of life.

It can be with no symptoms if small or can cause painful or heavy periods. There may be pain during sex or low back pain. The urinary bladder may be pushed forward causing increased frequency of urination.

Diagnosis is clinical or by imaging. Treatment is drugs to regress it but surgery is the mainstay of therapy. Less invasive modes have been successful. For those with no symptoms, it is better left alone.
