Adina Thembi said that she was in a life-threatening medical predicament when 16 fibroids were discovered in her.
The fibroid disease was discovered by her cousin, a nurse, according to the Ghanaian artist. She explains that an early scan revealed she had eight fibroids, but the tale eventually altered.
Adina explains that she went to the gym to eliminate a bulge in her abdomen, but despite her efforts, she witnessed no improvement.
“I suspected I might have fibroids when I was working out but I always had a bulge in my lower abdomen. I’ll work out, and make sure I am sticking to the right diet but there was no difference. You’ll notice that I’d lose weight the way I wanted but only that part had a bit of the bulge,” she said.
“then I stopped working out because at that moment It was something else. I noticed I was gaining more and more weight and the bulge was becoming more and more visible. I had a cousin who was a nurse and I was laying down one day and she was like, yeah, it’s definitely fibroids because she could see that it was poking out”.
Adina claims that a doctor once informed her she was pregnant. “So, I went to a hospital to have it checked and to do a scan. The first doctor I went to said I was pregnant and I told him I would know if I were pregnant. He said I’ve got very huge fibroids and I have to do surgery instantly. He was scaring me. The way he said it discouraged me. I didn’t like his vibe,” she said.
So I went to a different hospital and they detected I had 8 fibroids. They said I had to take it out because of where they were. Some of them were around my ovaries. so, this was detected by the doctor at the Tema Women’s Hospital. Dr. Yaba. She walked me through it. I stuck with her because I liked how she spoke to me. I didn’t like the first doctor,”
She went on to say.
When asked how she got rid of them, she informed the presenter, “I booked a surgery, and they ended up taking 16 out.” Some are enormous. Some people like an egg or a walnut. But there was one that was incredibly big, and I wondered whether it actually originated from me. Because those organisms were feasting on my blood, I became anemic for a long period. I’m glad it’s finally available. I’ve returned
When asked about her concerns before and after surgery, the award-winning Ghanaian vocalist stated,
“I feared that I wasn’t going to make it out of the theatre alive. I’ve always had the thought that it could affect childbirth. I guess I wouldn’t know unless I try.”
