This is promising news for many women dealing with uterine fibroids. City People reports that fibroids can now be treated without surgery in Lagos and Abuja, providing an alternative for women who want to avoid traditional invasive procedures. This development has relieved many, especially given past instances where complications from surgical procedures led to tragic outcomes.

For years, doctors have observed an increase in uterine fibroids cases—non-cancerous growths that form in or around the uterus. Fibroids vary in size, location, and number and may cause symptoms like heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, bloating, frequent urination, and even fertility issues. Experts note that factors like hormonal changes, genetic predisposition, age, ethnicity, and obesity can increase the risk.

There are several treatment options for fibroids, including hormonal therapies, minimally invasive procedures, and lifestyle adjustments. However, many treatments come with side effects, such as anemia, infertility, or even uterine rupture.

The Fibroids Centre has now successfully treated over 500 cases using a non-surgical approach known as High-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU), which requires no incisions, blood loss, or anesthesia, and allows patients to resume normal activities within 48 hours. Dr. Abayomi Ajayi, a renowned Lagos gynecologist and CEO of Nordica Fertility Centre, oversees the Fibroids Centre and has pioneered the use of HIFU in Nigeria, expanding its availability with a second machine in Abuja. Dr. Ajayi’s goal was to find an alternative fibroid treatment after witnessing the complications associated with surgery, a journey he began decades ago after a tragic incident involving a popular figure who died following fibroid surgery.

In collaboration with international partners, Dr. Ajayi launched the Lagos Fibroids Centre three years ago, with the Abuja location opening just this year. This technique has not only provided relief but has significantly minimized recovery time and post-surgical complications that are common with traditional procedures.

Dr. Ajayi’s contributions to healthcare in Nigeria extend beyond fibroid treatment. He is the founder of Nordica Fertility Centre, ISCARE Nigeria Limited, and several health advocacy groups, aiming to provide advanced reproductive and minimally invasive treatments. His initiatives have impacted both Nigeria’s healthcare sector and the wider African community, bringing innovative and non-invasive medical solutions to the forefront.

The Fibroids Centre’s success in treating over 500 cases without surgery is a testament to the effectiveness of this non-invasive approach, offering new hope to women dealing with fibroids across Nigeria and beyond.
