Nollywood actress Ini Dima-Okojie has shared exciting news regarding her ongoing battle with fibroids, revealing that recent ultrasound results show significant improvement. On October 6, 2024, the actress announced on her TikTok account that the fibroids she had been battling had shrunk, thanks to a holistic approach she adopted after they returned. “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,” she said, expressing relief and optimism.
In July 2024, Okojie had initially revealed the fibroids’ return, three years after undergoing a successful myomectomy, a surgery to remove them. At that time, she explained the challenges she faced, saying, “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.” Despite this setback, she was determined not to undergo surgery again.
Instead, Okojie opted for a holistic approach to managing her condition, making changes to her diet and lifestyle. She gave up bread, meat, dairy, and other foods she identified as contributing to fibroid growth, including processed sugars, carbonated drinks, and caffeine. “I am avoiding these things because they are high in estrogen and these things can make the fibroids grow,” she explained, emphasizing the importance of avoiding foods that could exacerbate her condition.
Okojie’s journey reflects her commitment to a natural healing process, and her recent success in shrinking the fibroids is a positive development. She has been sharing her experiences openly with fans, encouraging others who may be facing similar health challenges.
