Popular Yoruba Actress, Omotunde Ogundimu, who has been off the movie scene for a while now is battling 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 said: “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 she doesn’t have that kind of money because she has been single-handedly been taking care of her three children who have been in school since the demise of her husband.
