Out of 30 days in a month, I was only able to live normally for 10 days,” she said, describing how her condition took over her life. Despite repeated medical consultations, she was often dismissed and prescribed temporary solutions like painkillers. An ultrasound eventually revealed that her uterus was filled with fibroids—non-cancerous growths that can cause heavy bleeding and severe pain. “Approaching my 30s, my periods became unbearable. I was chronically anaemic because of excessive blood loss, with my haemoglobin dropping to dangerously low levels,” she explained, adding that she sometimes needed blood transfusions.

With the unwavering support of her husband and family, she made the difficult but necessary choice to undergo a hysterectomy. “This was not an easy choice, but it was the right one for me,” she said. “This isn’t just about a surgery. It’s about standing up for myself and redefining what womanhood means on my own terms.” Internet reactsA user took the comment section and wrote, “Massive respect for posting this & breaking taboo.” Another added, “Child bearing should never be the sole purpose of a woman’s exence. Health over anything else.. stay healthy stay strong” A third wrote, “It’s high time we valued ourselves as people first rather than mere childbearers. More power to you and here’s wishing nothing but joy and fulfillment in those “extra” 20 days a month you just fought for.” Also read: Can fatty liver be reversed with aerobic exercises?
