“I had 30 fibroids removed.” 💬
When Lupita Nyong’o bravely opened up about her experience with uterine fibroids, she gave a voice to something many women go through—but rarely talk about.
In the same year she won her Oscar, she discovered she had 30 fibroids.
She went through surgery, asked her doctor what she could do to prevent them from coming back — and was told, “You can’t. It’s only a matter of time.”
This is the reality for millions of women:
➡️ Heavy, painful periods
➡️ Pelvic pain and pressure
➡️ Anemia
➡️ Bloating and frequent urination
➡️ Fatigue
➡️ Difficulty getting pregnant
Some women have no symptoms at all, while others feel like fibroids are taking over their lives. Lupita realized that women everywhere were silently suffering — and made a call to end that silence.
🛑 We’ve been told that “period pain is normal” — but normal doesn’t mean unworthy of care.
You deserve answers. You deserve relief. You deserve to be heard. 🫶🏽
