Ini Dima-Okojie reveals that her fibroids have returned | fab.ng

Ini Dima-Okojie, a Nigerian actress, underwent surgery three years ago to remove fibroids. Fibroids are benign tumours that grow in the uterus and can cause a variety of symptoms. The symptoms include heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure on the bladder or bowels. Unfortunately, Ini Dima-Okojie recently announced that the fibroids have returned.

This news came as a disappointment to Ini Dima-Okojie. This is because many women who have surgery to remove fibroids hope that they won’t come back. On July 17, 2024, she took to Instagram to share this update with her followers and fans. In her post, she addressed the challenges she’s facing due to the return of the fibroids and her plans for how she will move forward.

She explained, 

“I want to share something important with you today. If you’ve been following me, you would probably know that before the end of 2020, I had a myomectomy, which is an evasive surgery to take out fibroids. The surgery was successful; my doctor removed every single fibroid and I healed well. It’s been 3 years since the surgery and unfortunately, the fibroids are back.”

Ini Dima-Okojie also shared that finding out the fibroids had come back was emotionally difficult.

Understandably, this news was upsetting, especially after going through surgery to remove them before. Despite this, Ini Dima-Okojie made it clear that she doesn’t currently plan to have another surgery to take care of the fibroids.

“It’s very disheartening and it hasn’t been the easiest couple of months but I’m okay. I’ve come to terms with it, and I definitely don’t want to do another surgery anytime soon. This time I want to take a holistic approach towards shrinking the fibroids,” she said.

The actress added, “I just thought it was important to share and it wasn’t easy. I remember the first time I shared my story and how many women felt seen and many people shared their stories with me.”

Ini Dima-Okojie didn’t just share her personal experience. She also emphasized how important it is to spread the word about fibroids, especially for Black women. This is because fibroids are more common in Black women than in women of other races.

“Too many black women go through this and it wasn’t being talked about enough and it’s still not being talked about enough. I don’t even know if a remedy is being found for it. I’m going to be paying for 20 women to get their screening done; it’s very important,” she said.

Under the distribution of Cinemax and the direction of Adeoluwa Owu, the film presents a compelling narrative. Specifically, it follows Lateefah Adeleke, a 30-year-old businesswoman who portrays herself as a world traveller with high social status.

However, her encounter with Jide Rhodes, a 35-year-old businessman, eventually exposes her carefully constructed facade.

In contrast to her claims, Lateefah emerges from a background of extreme poverty as the only child of an illiterate mother.

Finally, the film features a stellar ensemble cast including Kunle Remi, Femi Adebayo, Nancy Isime, Bimbo Manuel, Elvina Ibru, Enioluwa, and Gbugbemi Ejeye.

As a result of these combined elements – compelling storyline, strong performances, and strategic release timing – ‘Queen Lateefah’ continues to demonstrate the growing commercial potential of Nollywood productions.
