As the world celebrates world fibroids awareness month media personality Grace Msalame has opened up about her journey with fibroids.

Grace who is a mother of two says that she ignored her body even when she knew something was not right.

My fibroid showed 2 years ago so the doctor suggested we just ignore it. He said it would disappear and sure enough it did.

Last year I started having heavy bleeding which lasted for 7-8 days and I would have painful cramps.

Grace says that at some point people assumed she had fibroids because her uterus was 'empty' .

This is because her twins are 8 and she has no other kids.

In conclusion she says, 

They were removed and all we are doing now is to pray and hope that they don't reoccur as the only solution to fibroids is to have the uterus removed (Hysterectomy).
