Grace Msalame is among the few female celebrities who have shared their story about struggling with fibroids.
She has for the first time shared a photo of fibroids that were removed from her body after a myomectomy last year.
The mother of two said that the recovery journey has not been easy but at least she is not where she was before.
Taking to her Instagram to share her journey, Grace wrote
ON THIS DATE LAST YEAR 2018, MY FIRST WALK OUTSIDE TO GET SOME SUN AFTER A MYOMECTOMY PROCEDURE TO REMOVE FIBROIDS.
I CAN’T DESCRIBE HOW DIFFICULT, PAINFUL & LONG THE RECOVERY PROCESS WAS.
I CAN’T EVEN EQUATE IT TO A CS, BUT A YEAR LATER I AM TRULY GRATEFUL BECAUSE I’M BACK TO A SEMBLANCE OF NORMALCY?GOD IS GOOD?? LESSONS FROM MY EXPERIENCE.
Fibroids are abnormal growths that develop in or on a woman’s uterus. Sometimes these tumours become quite large and cause severe abdominal pain and heavy periods.

In other cases, they cause no signs or symptoms at all. The growths are typically benign, or noncancerous. The cause of fibroids is unknown.
