Every human being gets a medical scare at least once in their lifetime, and in the case of award-winning  singer, Adina, it was Fibroid.

The singer, who’s back in the music scene with a new single titled “Party” has shared her experience with medical condition which affects between 20-70 percent of women during their reproductive years.

According to Adina, in an interview with GhanaWeb, she first suspected something might be wrong with when after eating right and working out, she still could not get rid of the bulge in her lower abdomen.

“I suspected I might have fibroids when I was working out but I always had a bulge in my lower abdomen. I’ll work out, and make sure I am sticking to the right diet but there was no difference. You’ll notice that I’d lose weight the way I wanted but only that part had a bit of the bulge. Then I stopped working out because at that moment It was something else. I noticed I was gaining more and more weight and the bulge was becoming more and more visible. I had a cousin who was a nurse and I was laying down one day and she was like, yeah, it’s definitely fibroids because she could see that it was poking out,” she told host Elsie Lamar.

Adina shared that she finally made the decision to see a doctor and have herself checked.

“So, I went to a hospital to have it checked and to do a scan. The first doctor I went to said I was pregnant and I told him I would know if I were pregnant. He said I’ve got very huge fibroids and I have to do surgery instantly. He was scaring me. The way he said it discouraged me. I didn’t like his vibe. So I went to a different hospital and they detected I had 8 fibroids. They said I had to take it out because of where they were. Some of them were around my ovaries. so, this was detected by the doctor at the Tema Women’s Hospital. Dr. Yaba. She walked me through it. I stuck with her because I liked how she spoke to me. I didn’t like the first doctor,” she narrated.

In what will become a life changing moment for her, Adina said she underwent surgery and 16 fibroids were removed from her belly.

“I booked a surgery and in had the surgery and they ended up taking 16 out. Some are very big. Some like an egg or a walnut. But there was one that was really huge and I asked myself whether that really came out of me. those things were feeding on my blood so I became very anemic for a long time. I am happy that it is out now. I have gone back to the hospital to check and it’s no more there. I am hoping and praying that it stays that way,” she noted.

Undergoing surgery is a do or die affair, and for Adina, she “feared that I wasn’t going to make it out of the theater alive. I’ve always had the thought that it could affect childbirth. I guess I wouldn’t know unless I try.”
