“I Thought It Was Just Ordinary Stomach Pain…”
Story of Mary, a middle-aged working class woman in Otuocha, a suburb in Anambra State
Mary sat quietly on the edge of her bed.
It was 2:17 a.m.
Once again, the pain had woken her from sleep.
For months, she had been experiencing strange discomfort in her lower abdomen.
At first, she ignored it.
“Maybe it’s something I ate,” she told herself.
But the pain kept returning.
Then came the heavy periods.
Every month felt worse than the previous one.
She started carrying extra sanitary pads everywhere she went.
At work, she often worried about staining her clothes.
At church, she sat close to the exit in case she needed to rush to the restroom.
Then something else happened.
People began asking questions.
“Mary, are you pregnant?”
She wasn’t.
But her stomach seemed larger than before.
The comments hurt.
Some days she laughed it off.
Other days she cried in private.
As the months passed, another worry appeared.
She and her husband had been trying for a baby.
Nothing was happening.
Now she had questions she couldn’t answer.
Was it stress?
Was it age?
Was it something serious?
One afternoon, after yet another painful period, she finally visited a hospital.
After an examination and scan, the doctor looked at her kindly and said:
“Mary, you have fibroids.”
The room suddenly felt quiet.
But she didn’t really understand what it meant.
Questions rushed through her mind.
“Can I still get pregnant?”
“Will I need surgery?”
“Are fibroids dangerous?”
“Why didn’t I know about this earlier?”
That evening, Mary searched online for answers.
Some websites scared her.
Others confused her.
Everyone seemed to have a different opinion.
She felt overwhelmed.
What she needed wasn’t fear.
What she needed was understanding.
