Silent tumors is a documentary that addresses the fibroid epidemic. Fibroids are non cancerous tumors that develop in the uterus during a woman’s childbearing years (and beyond). This is a condition that affects 23% of black women before the age of 25. Many of the symptoms are things that have been normalized. This documentary will shed more light on symptoms and treatments, demystify myths and perceptions, and most importantly break the silence culture.

Let’s talk numbers. 📊

By age 50, up to 80% of women will have developed fibroids but this condition doesn’t affect everyone equally.

Black women face the highest risk, often diagnosed earlier and more severely than other groups. Awareness saves lives. Know the signs, know your body. 🩵

Living with fibroids isn’t about the pain only. There’s the exhaustion from answering questions, the cancelled plans, and a whole other rollercoaster of emotions. In the quest to break the silence around fibroids, @bolajigelax is sharing some of the ways in which living with this condition can affect a woman’s mental health.

We hope this makes at least one woman feel seen and heard. You are not alone.

Watch till the end 🎥

Fibroids don’t always announce themselves. People differ in symptoms. Some people experience pain while others don’t. When you go for a checkup, give yourself the extra room to ask, to understand, to advocate for your own body. Your next check-up is the perfect time to ask:

🔸 Has my fibroid grown or changed?
🔸 Am I a candidate for non-surgical treatment?
🔸 Could this be affecting my fertility or cycle?
🔸 What symptoms mean I should come back sooner?
🔸 What lifestyle changes could help?

Don’t wait for pain to prompt the visit. Book the appointment. Ask the questions. 🩵

What’s On Your Plate? 🍽️

Fibroids thrive on estrogen. And sometimes, what we eat quietly feeds them.

Diets heavy in red meat, processed sugar, refined carbs, and excess dairy can spike estrogen levels. That daily soft drink, the extra sugar in your tea, or that late-night suya, moderation matters more than you think.

This isn’t about restriction; it’s about awareness.

Small swaps, big difference:

📉 Cut back on highly processed foods.
📈 Load up on leafy greens, fiber, and anti-inflammatory powerhouses like ginger and turmeric.

Your uterus will thank you. 🩵

Many of the supposedly harmless statements, questions or opinions you share with people with fibroids are very much unwelcome, unnecessary and not needed. Especially when you are not sure of what to say.

And if you have ever said any of these to someone people, here’s a call to please unlearn, stop and instead lead with empathy.

What she actually needs to hear: “How are you feeling today?” “I believe you.” “What do you need from me right now?” “You’re not being dramatic, your pain is real.”
