Nollywood actress Ini Dima-Okojie has announced that her fibroids which she has been battling with have shrunk.
The actress excitedly revealed the good news on her TikTok account on October 6, 2024, noting that a recent ultrasound scan showed that the fibroids had reduced in size since the last time she checked.
She said, “I made some lifestyle changes since I found out that the fibroids are back. So I went to the hospital recently to do an ultrasound scan and the fibroids are shrinking, so we’re doing something right; something is working.”
Recall that in July 2024, Okojie had initially revealed that her fibroids reappeared, three years after ongoing invasive surgery to remove them.
In the video she posted at the time, she addressed her followers and fans and updated them about the challenges she faced and her plans moving forward.
She explained, “I want to share something important with you today. If you’ve been following me, you would probably know that before the end of 2020, I had a myomectomy, which is an evasive surgery to take out fibroids.
“The surgery was successful; my doctor removed every single fibroid and I healed well. It’s been 3 years since the surgery and unfortunately, the fibroids are back.”
After that, the actress consistently kept her fans and followers in the loop of her holistic approach to shrinking the fibroids, as she had no intentions of undergoing surgery again.
She then revealed she had given up bread, meat and other foods in a bid to shrink her fibroids.
“Dairy, so cheese, milk, refined sugar like cookies, cakes, condiments and processed food in general.
“Also, carbonated drinks and caffeine. Honorary mention, sodium and anything high in salt. So I am avoiding these things because they are high in estrogen and these things can make the fibroids grow,” said Okojie
