23 fibroids.

21 removed.

2 left behind.

This raises an important question: what happens when you're told those last two are “too small to worry about”?

I’m genuinely happy that Rachel found a path that worked for her, and I’m grateful that she shared her story.

However, the first thing that concerns me is that the initial recommendation she received from her doctor was for a hysterectomy.

For many women, especially Black women, fibroids can come with a very different treatment conversation. We know that there are significant disparities in who gets offered hysterectomy and how quickly. As a U.S. Board-certified specialist from the Bahamas and the Caribbean, I take issue with that.

This is exactly why I believe women deserve to know all of their options before making a decision that changes their body forever.

Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive, nonsurgical treatment exclusively performed by Interventional Radiologists that allows us to treat fibroids at their blood supply source through a tiny 2 mm incision.

Rather than choosing which fibroids to remove surgically, UFE allows us to treat the entire blood supply feeding the fibroids, killing then all.

My goal isn't to tell you which treatment is right for you.

It's to make sure you know there may be more than one option.

Because you can't choose an option you were never told the whole truth about.

If you've been told hysterectomy is your only option, ask one more question:

“What are all of my treatment options?”

That question matters.

I really appreciate women sharing what has helped them on their fibroid journey.

Nutrition is a conversation I believe deserves more attention.

What we eat can influence inflammation and the overall environment in our bodies. Making healthier choices, improving your nutrition, and taking care of yourself can absolutely be part of managing your fibroid journey.

But I also want to be honest about something.

Shrinking a fibroid is not the same as eliminating it.

A fibroid can become smaller and still be there. So while lifestyle changes may help create an environment that is less favorable for fibroid growth, they should not be confused with a treatment that exterminates and kills fibroids.

This is why I believe in taking a more complete approach.

At The Bahamas Fibroid & Interventional Clinic (BFIC), we combine evidence based treatment options like Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) with lifestyle education and optimization and long term support.

Because your health is about more than one procedure or one diet.

If you're dealing with fibroids, I want you to have the whole picture so you can make informed decisions about your body and your health.

What if the biggest problem with your fibroids isn't just the fibroids?

What if it's waiting too long to do something about them?

I often see women normalize their symptoms for years. Heavy periods, fatigue, bloating, pelvic pressure, anemia, and pain become something they simply learn to live around.

When the options you've been given feel like “suffer through it” or “have surgery,” it's easy to put the decision off.

But here's something I want you to know.

Fibroids can be chronic and recurrent, and sometimes what appears to be a recurrence may actually be fibroids that were never treated in the first place.

That's one of the reasons I believe women deserve to know about all of their options.

Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive, nonsurgical treatment that allows us to treat fibroids at their roots through a tiny 2 mm incision.

No major surgical incision with scarring. No general anesthesia. No picking and choosing which fibroids to remove and being comfortable that some are being left behind.

The goal is to treat the all fibroids regardless of their size while preserving your uterus and your fertility. That’s certainly our goal and one we accomplish every single day we serve our Queens.

So, if you've been putting off getting answers because you're afraid of what you'll be told, maybe the first step isn't choosing a treatment.

Maybe it's simply learning what's available to you.

You deserve to know your options.

Here in beautiful Eleuthera, celebrating my Queen’s birthday, something happened that genuinely made my day.

I ran into a woman who looked familiar, but I couldn’t quite place her.

She smiled and said, “Doc… it’s me. One of your patients!”

I was stunned.

She looked AMAZING.

Her tummy was noticeably flatter. Her skin was glowing. Her hair looked healthy. But more than anything, there was something different about her, her energy, her confidence, the way she carried herself.

I hadn’t seen her in quite some time. After completing her follow-up following fibroid treatment, she had simply gone on with her life.

And that’s exactly the point.

She wasn’t living around her fibroids anymore.

She was just LIVING.

I see this transformation in so many of my patients. When the bleeding gets better. When the pressure and bloating disappear. When the clothes fit differently. When the energy comes back. When a woman begins to recognize herself again.

Fibroid treatment isn’t simply about treating fibroids.

Sometimes, it’s about giving a woman the opportunity to step into a new chapter of her life.

Seeing her thriving, unexpectedly, miles away from The Bahamas Fibroid & Interventional Clinic (BFIC), was such a beautiful reminder of why I do what I do.

And if you’re watching this while struggling with fibroids, I wish this for you too.

A healthier you.
A freer you.
A life no longer dictated by your fibroids.

You deserve the opportunity to simply LIVE. 🙏🏽

Fibroid Awareness Month may be over, but the conversation shouldn't be.

Over 226 million women around the world are living with fibroids. Yet so many women still suffer quietly, often without realizing just how common their experience is.

I was reminded of this recently when two of my own nurses shared with me, for the first time, that they had fibroids. I had no idea.

That's how common fibroids are, and that's how quietly many women carry them.

Awareness only matters if it leads to action.

If you're dealing with heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure, bloating, fatigue, or other symptoms, know that you don't have to simply accept them.

There are treatment options beyond major surgery, including Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE), a minimally invasive, nonsurgical procedure that treats fibroids at their roots through a tiny 2 mm incision.

Keep the conversation going. Share your story. Share this post. Help another woman realize that she's not alone.

For years, women were taught to suffer through fibroids quietly and consider it just part of being a woman.

Heavy menstrual bleeding.

Debilitating pain.

Exhaustion.

Missed work days.

Fertility concerns.

And sometimes, major surgery without ever knowing there may have been another option.

But silence never protected anyone.

It only meant more women suffered alone.

Today, women are finally speaking up.

What’s beautiful is that every woman who shares her story gives another woman permission to ask:

“Could this be happening to me?”

That is the power of fibroid awareness.

It's not fear.

It's not shame.

It's simply the education that you have a right to have.

Because, you deserve to ask questions about your body.

You deserve to understand what your diagnosis really means.

You deserve to hear something other than "your fibroids are small and don't need to be treated" but then in a few years are told that you need to remove your uterus.

You deserve to know your treatment options before making a life-changing decision.

If something about your periods, pain, bloating, fatigue, or fertility has changed, don’t simply accept it as something you have to live with.

Be curious. Start the conversation. Get informed.

Your symptoms are real, and you do not have to navigate them alone.

If tea could actually eliminate fibroids, I’d want you to know about it.

But the truth is, there is no tea, herb, detox, or supplement scientifically proven to eliminate an existing fibroid.

I understand why these promises are appealing. When you’re dealing with heavy bleeding, bloating, pelvic pressure, pain, or fatigue, you want something simple that works.

Supporting your overall health matters. Vitamin D, inflammation, hormonal balance, nutrition, and lifestyle can all play a role in your health.

But supporting your body is not the same as eliminating a fibroid.

If a fibroid is already causing symptoms, waiting for a detox to make it disappear may simply delay the answers and treatment you deserve.

Think about it this way:

If you have termites in your house, making the termites smaller doesn’t solve the problem.

You still have termites.

The same question should be asked about fibroids.

Don’t just ask, “Will this shrink it?”

Ask, “What evidence shows that this actually treats the problem?”

Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive, nonsurgical treatment that targets the blood supply to fibroids and is supported by clinical evidence.

You deserve honesty.
You deserve evidence.
You deserve to know your options.

There are moments that remind us that advocacy is not simply about having a platform. Rather, it is about having the courage to turn something deeply personal into purpose.

Lupita Nyong’o has done exactly that.

She has courageously shared her journey with uterine fibroids. She continues to bring visibility to a condition that affects millions of women, yet remains too often endured in silence. What moves me most is what she has chosen to do with that experience.

She has turned her journey into advocacy.
She has turned vulnerability into visibility.
She has channeled her pain into a purpose and her voice into a vehicle for women who deserve to be heard.

As a physician, I have sat across from countless women living their own fibroid stories. I have heard the exhaustion behind “I thought this was normal.” I have met women who suffered for years before learning they had options. I have devoted a significant part of my life to changing that reality.

That is why standing beside Lupita in this moment carried a significance difficult to put into words.

I was profoundly humbled that we were both recognized as Blossom Awardees by The White Dress Project, arriving at this work through different journeys, but united by the same conviction:

Women deserve better.

They deserve to understand their bodies.
They deserve to know all their treatment options.
They deserve to have their pain taken seriously.
They deserve a healthcare system that listens before suffering becomes their normal.

Lupita, thank you for the courage to tell your story, and then choosing to make that story about something larger than yourself.

It was an honor to stand beside you.

To The White Dress Project, thank you for this generous recognition and for building a movement that continues to turn silence into conversation, conversation into advocacy, and advocacy into change.

I receive this honor with tremendous gratitude, but even more so, with responsibility.

Because awards may recognize the work already done. Purpose reminds us how much work remains.

And the work continues.

One of the most important things I tell women is this:

You can do everything "right" and still struggle with fibroids.

I've seen women exercising, eating well, managing stress, and still dealing with heavy bleeding, exhaustion, bloating, and pelvic pressure.

Why?

Because once fibroids become established, lifestyle changes alone are not always enough.

That's why understanding your treatment options can be life-changing.

Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE) is a minimally invasive procedure that treats fibroids at their roots through a tiny 2 mm incision, helping many women avoid major surgery.

✔️ No large scars
✔️ No invasive surgery
✔️ No overnight hospital stay

And for many women, the results can be transformative:

Lighter periods
More energy
Less bloating and pressure
Weight loss
Feeling like themselves again
You deserve answers.

You deserve options.

And you deserve to stop suffering in silence.

There are moments that remind me exactly why I chose this path of service to women suffering with fibroids.

I’m incredibly grateful to two of my amazing patients, Patricka and Lesley, for courageously sharing their stories on The Spence Finlayson Show on ZNS. Thank you for trusting me, not only with your care, but also with your voices. Your willingness to educate and encourage other women is a gift.

Hearing them describe how seamless their experience was, how one of their procedures took just 30 minutes, and how she was feeling well enough to start getting ready to go shopping the very next morning 🙈, is a powerful reminder that women deserve to know all of their treatment options.

What touched me most, however, was hearing them talk about our relationship.

At The Bahamas Fibroid & Interventional Clinic (BFIC), we don’t just treat fibroids. We care for women. We build relationships. We answer questions. We walk alongside our patients before, during, and long after their procedure.

When you become a patient at BFIC, you become part of the BFIC family. You are treated with dignity, compassion, respect, and the personalized care you deserve.

Simply put, you’re treated like the Queen you are. 👑

Thank you again, Patricka and Lesley, for your trust, your friendship, and your advocacy. Together, we’re changing the conversation around fibroids and helping women realize they have options.
