Renowned Ghanaian actress, Lydia Forson has opened up about her decade-long battle with fibroids.

She shed light on the silent suffering endured by many women facing similar health challenges.

In commemoration of Fibroid Awareness Month this July, the ‘Perfect Picture’ star shared her personal journey in a post on X.

She encouraged women to do medical examinations, ask questions about their health, and find solace knowing that they are not alone in struggles.

“July is Fibroid Awareness Month to the women who’ve had to live in constant pain, multiple surgeries, questions about children, if you’re pregnant because of how you look, or the fear that you never will ; you’re not alone. I lived in pain for 10 years before I got help.

“So many women have stories they can’t share, because of how painful it is; but I’m happy for the brave ones who do. You give courage to many women and educate even more. For some of us, we were completely ignorant until our diagnosis.
