Today: Lupita Nyong'o and Her Fibroids Journey
Today, Lupita Nyong'o opens up about her battle with fibroids returning after years of treatment. Having undergone a myomectomy in the past, she reveals that she is now facing over 50 fibroids, which cause her significant discomfort.
Understanding Fibroids
- Fibroids are common, affecting between 40% and 80% of people with uteruses.
- These growths can lead to various symptoms like heavy bleeding, pain, and frequent urination.
Despite her doctors’ reassurances, Nyong'o reflects on the difficulty of dealing with such a prevalent issue. She emphasizes that just because fibroids are common doesn’t mean they should be accepted as normal.
A Call for Awareness
In an effort to address the lack of resources and treatment options for fibroids, Nyong'o has joined forces with the Foundation for Women’s Health to promote research and innovative solutions.
