actress, Omotunde Ogundimu, who has been off the movie scene for a while
now, is presently battling with fibroid.
According to reports, the mother of three needs about N500,000 to undergo surgery to have the fibroid removed.
Recounting how the problem started, Omotunde told Nigeria Films thus:
“I
noticed it last year before my husband passed away. Anytime we had
intercourse, I would always bleed. I took it for something else, so I
didn’t really pay attention to it. But when he became sick and we
couldn’t have intercourse any more, it (the bleeding) stopped. Then, I
didn’t have time to study it at that period too.
“But
what I noticed is that my menstrual circle changed, so I would
menstruate twice in a month with very heavy flow. So, at that time, I
just felt it was one of the signs of menopause because I am way above
40. But last year, I had to go to the hospital to complain and the
doctor said I had fibroid, even before the tests and scan were
conducted. When the scan was done, it was discovered that the fibroid
was fully grown in my womb,” she explained.
Soliciting
for help, the actress admitted that didn’t have that kind of money
because she has been single-handedly taking care of her three children
who are in school since the demise of her husband.
