July is Fibroid Awareness Month! What are fibroids? Fibroids (leiomyomas) are tumors or growths in the uterus that can develop during the childbearing years. They can grow in and around the muscle layer of the uterine wall. Some of the symptoms associated with fibroids include excessive or painful bleeding during your period, bleeding between your periods, frequent urination, pain during s*x, low back pain, constipation, and enlargement of the abdomen. Fibroids are more common in Black women. Those who have a family history and are obese are at risk for developing fibroids. However, you have options for management and don’t need to suffer in silence. If you are concerned that you may have fibroids, mention it to your doctor. I’m on my personal fibroid journey and decided to pursue surgical management. I chose not suffer in silence any longer.

Hypertension (HTN), or high blood pressure occurs when the force of the blood against the walls of your arteries is higher than normal. The measurement consist of two numbers, systolic (top number) and diastolic (bottom number). According to the American Heart Association, a normal blood pressure (BP) is less than 120/80 mmHg. There are some risk factors for developing HTN, like cigarette smoking, diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol, sleep apnea, lack of exercise, and an unhealthy diet. Some HTN risk factors that cannot be changed/difficult to change include having a family history of HTN, and chronic kidney disease, stress, and socioeconomic status. The goal is to participate in preventive health measures to avoid developing HTN. However, if HTN is already present, it’s important to control it to prevent developing some of the long terms effects. Browse through the photos for tips on how to measure your BP, how to manage your BP, and learn about some of the consequences associated with uncontrolled HTN.

I experienced a number of patients express their gratitude,excitement, and sense of relief when they saw me enter the room. They were grateful to know that their doctor was a Black woman. One patient went as far to say that she was waiting for someone like me. My heart is so overwhelmed 🥹This job, this office is confirmation from God that I’m on the right path. That I’m right where I belong.

And just like that….residency is over! More than a decade of studying medicine to become a physician. I’ve been waiting for this moment for what seems like an eternity, but it was well worth the wait. I’ll now have the privilege of helping members of my community, particularly the African American population, make improvements to their health and wellbeing. I’m grateful to everyone who supported me along this journey. I wish my dad and brother were here to share in this moment with me, but I know they were watching over me.
