Unwelcome Uterine Guests
Thursday, 4 June, 2026
Dr Cheryl Okoli, an advanced practice nurse and healthcare leader, discusses uterine fibroids, which she calls "unwelcome uterine guests." Dr Okoli explains that fibroids are non-cancerous uterine tumors ranging from microscopic to watermelon-sized, likely linked to estrogen dominance, and affecting any woman of childbearing age, with higher prevalence and more severe symptoms in Black women (60% by age 35 and 80% by 50 vs. 40% and 70% in Caucasians). She reviews symptomatic signs, including heavy bleeding, pelvic pain, bulk/pressure, anaemia, urinary frequency, infertility, and quality-of-life impacts, using the acronym FIBROIDS. She describes diagnosis by ultrasound/MRI, the importance of fibroid location, and treatments including watchful waiting, medications (e.g., Lupron), iron/pain control, UAE/UFE, MR-guided focused ultrasound, myomectomy, and hysterectomy, plus studies on vitamin D and green tea extract (EGCG) combinations to shrink fibroids.
