‘I Wear my Scars with Pride’ -Toyin Lawani Opens Up About Battling with Fibroid

Days after actress Halima Abubakar detailed her successful fibroid removal on social media, Toyin Lawani has come forward to share her own battles.

The business mogul took to her Instagram yesterday to reveal that she once had three massive fibroids removed from her body. She also disclosed that she had received news yesterday from her doctor that the tumours are back, causing her immense pain.

I Wear My Scars With Pride, Fibriod Is A Deadly Disease, A Lot Of People Are Ignorant About It, I Did The Surgery And Took 3 Massive Fibriods Out. Got News Today That They Are All Back, My Back Pains And Leg Pains Have Started Again.

Toyin is joining celebs like Abubakar and movie director Kemi Adetiba who have spoken up about their battles with fibroid-which are muscular tumours that grow in the wall of the womb.

Fans have since flocked the fashion designer’s page to pray for healing and strength.

Research shows that about 20% to 80% of women develop fibroids at the age of 50. However, not all women with fibroids have symptoms which include heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure and backache or leg pains. Sadly, those who have symptoms find fibroids very hard to live with.
