Nik, please know I am lifting you up in prayer as you prepare for surgery. May God give you peace and may He touch the hands of all who will be involved in removing those cysts from your body, and I pray it’s a successful surgery and great recovery. Thank you for always keeping it real with us and sharing so much important information that us black women need to know. Many blessings.
My doctor describes 10 cm as the size of a baby's head. I had a 10cm fibroid and could literally feel it in my body thru my skin, depending on where it was positioned. I hope your surgery goes well. Here's to being healthy and pain free in 2024! 🥂
Good luck Nik, thanks for sharing! Also, although it is the person's job to help people, I would personally pull that person aside or try to contact the person to let them know that they are exceptional regarding their care/compassion for people. There are so many medical workers/doctors who treat people like a number and do not provide the care patients deserve.
Thank you for sharing your experience Nik. Dealing with same situation where doctors just don't care, return calls, etc. I pray everything goes well for you. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you for sharing. When you described your pain and experience in the ER I was feeling it and writhing like it was me. I'm sorry you're going through this, I'm so sorry. I will lift you up in prayer. Blessings
I’m sorry u had to experience that I had a very very similar experience with an ER in 2012 when I had extreme pain due to a fibroid. I thought it was just a south Florida thing . Being from Minnesota I don’t remember medical care even in an ER being so bad! I am praying your surgery goes well and u have a speedy recovery. Thank you for sharing your story it’s given me the boost to have things I’m afraid to check checked out❤
Hi Nik, I’m glad you got the thorough care that you needed and have the procedure scheduled. I really think you should pay a visit to that other Drs. office, or ask for the Dr. To call you so that you can let her know about the, now two times that you have experienced poor care and poor customer service from her staff. You can’t be the only one that this has happened to.
I am so sorry you had to go through all that pain and messy medical experiences. I’m sending you healing prayers and positive vibes Sis! Thanks so much for sharing your story. 🙏🏿❤
Sending you so much love & healing. I am so sorry you had that experience (a similar experience is pushing me into healthcare to help stop that crap). Thank you for keeping up with us about it, hopefully your journey can help someone else!
Thanks for telling your story. I had trouble getting my male primary doctor to listen to my symptoms. I had pressure on my bladder and an urgency to pee constantly, got a super unusual period that was ridiculously heavy and lasted 11 days, and then stopped getting my period all together and I could NOT get this doctor to listen to me. Turned out I had a massive cyst. What you said about going to a doctor that’s similar to you resonated with me, not just ethnicity but female doctors and OBGYN’s. Sorry to the male doctors, but they really really seem to brush a lot of woman’s symptoms (especially reproductive ones) under the table.
It's so frustrating when you're trying to advocate for yourself and you're not being heard. We've been living in this body our whole life so I think we would know best when something feels off. So sorry that was your experience (and sorry I'm so late replying). Thank you for sharing. I hope you're doing better now and you're getting the care you deserve!💕
Thank you for sharing your experience! Women’s health is not always discussed in our community, nor do medical professionals that don’t particularly look like us take us seriously enough to give proper attention and treatment. Hope you have a speedy recovery! ❤ Would you mind sharing the doctor’s office that you go to? I’ve had issues with finding a provider that I like in the area for similar reasons that you’ve stated. Thank you again!
wow. Hope all goes well and you recover quickly. Your message is well received even more than you realize. Fear stops a lot of us from getting changes checked out. Tfs🖤
❤❤❤❤ Thank you for sharing your experience 😢. I have had some similar issues in the past. We must advocate for ourselves because doctors are very passive these days unless you have the right one who cares. I pray that everything goes well with your surgery and that you heal well. 🙏🏾💛
Hi, I have just come across your video and wanted to say thank you for posting your story. I went through a similar experience this year, I had a mucinous cystic adenoma on my left ovary which they estimated was between 40-50 cm across, and I lost my ovary during surgery, so watching your video really choked me up to be honest. I will go onto your channel after I post this, so may find my answer there, but how did your surgery go, and how has your recovery been? I hope you are doing well xxx
Sorry to hear you lost your ovary. I hope you're doing well now. My surgery was a little more than I expected but I am doing well. Happy that I am no longer feeling that pain. Thank you for checking on me💕
Unfortunately in America, black people often experience implicit racial bias and systemic racism in healthcare. So yes, as someone, who I assume does not live in America, this may be weird or hard to comprehend. Peruse Google on the topic and maybe you will have a better understanding.
You are in my thoughts and prayers. I’m thanking God in advance for a safe surgery and full recovery! Bless your current physician. She debunked my own recent desire for a doctor that looks like me; I want a physician that truly cares. I am in the market for a new one. May I email or message you someplace for a recommendation? I’m in the metro Atlanta area as well. 🫶🏾🙏🏾

I prefer non black for multiple reasons.
I PREFER THE BEST!!! Color does not matter and there is good and bad regardless of color in every profession...
Sending u prayers❤❤❤❤
Hope everything goes well...🙏🏾 Prayers 2 you.
Thanks for sharing. You have educated me some things.
Im so glad to hear this I did an UltraSound and looked on my report I found out I have Ovarian Cysts on both Ovaries 3cm and I scared and terrified,,
Most of the time they go away on their own, usually within a few cycles. But unless they're causing you pain or discomfort you should be fine.

Thanks so much for sharing! 💗
I know the pain you described. I had a ruptured cyst removed and the pain is exactly what you described. Praying for healing.
Thank you! No one should have to experience that. Sorry you had to go through it💕
wow. Hope all goes well and you recover quickly. Your message is well received even more than you realize. Fear stops a lot of us from getting changes checked out. Tfs🖤
Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry you going through this, I'm praying for a speedy recovery for you, I'm praying for you Nik
Get well, you will be alright!

I never heard about getting a doctor that has the same skin color as you. That has never even crossed my mind. Americans are weird sometimes.
