Myths about fibroids that are totally false

One day, in a private hospital my friend works, his oga had just done myomectomy ( removal of fibroids) from a patient, it was a successful surgery, one of the patient's friends visited, so happened I knew her, we got talking, and one conversation led to another, she said; if her friend had told her she was coming in for surgery, she would have discouraged her, and given her something to drink or wear as pad and that would have brought out the fibroids through her vagina, she further tried to buttress her point by giving a story of a testimony a woman gave, who applied it and it worked for her. I enlightened her as I'm about to do to us now.

Fibroids are abnormal growths of the womb, some are as big as my head and yours or even bigger, and others are as small as the head of an office pin. The second picture is how a womb should look like, the others are riddled with fibroids, hence they have distorted the normal anatomy (structure/shape) of the womb. All the round contours you see are fibroids. They can best be described as protruding balls in a bag. The following are myths we need to debunk as regards fibroids.

1. Fibroids are abnormal growths of the womb, they are not caused by spirits, nor by spiritual attacks.

2. The cure for fibroids is removal of the womb(hysterectomy), however, if a lady has not completed her family, we can remove the fibroids (myomectomy) but it may grow again.

3. There's no substance or pad that one can drink or wear that will melt fibroids, or make them pass out through the vagina.

4. Fibroids may or may not coexist with pregnancies, as you can see, the fibroid laden wombs in the pictures belonged to three different women, who had huge fibroids, got pregnant, carried the pregnancies to term, and were delivery by me via C/S.

5. It's not adviceable to perform C/S and myomectomy at the same time, but it's possible.

6)As I remember, I will add more.
