Nollywood actress Ini Dima-Okojie has shared exciting news about her health journey.
After discovering that her fibroids had returned, she announced on October 6, 2024, via TikTok, that they have now shrunk.
Ini joyfully explained that a recent ultrasound showed the fibroids had reduced in size since her last checkup. She attributed this improvement to some lifestyle changes she made, saying, “I went to the hospital for an ultrasound scan, and the fibroids are shrinking. So, something is working; we’re on the right track.”
Back in July 2024, Ini revealed that her fibroids had reappeared three years after undergoing a myomectomy (a surgery to remove fibroids).
She had previously shared with her fans that the initial surgery was successful, and all the fibroids were removed. However, she was disappointed when they came back.
Rather than opting for another surgery, Ini decided to take a holistic approach to manage her condition. She shared her journey with her followers, including the changes she made to her diet, such as cutting out bread, meat, dairy products, refined sugar, processed foods, carbonated drinks, and caffeine.
She explained that these foods can increase estrogen levels, which may cause fibroids to grow.
By avoiding foods high in estrogen, like those with lots of sodium and refined sugars, she hoped to reduce the size of her fibroids naturally and it seems to be working!
