I Bled For Up To 14 Days Monthly” — Bimbo Thomas Reveals Harrowing Health Battle

According to Ireporter Online, the actress made the disclosure during a conversation with media personality Chude, where she recounted that her ordeal began in her teenage years. She explained that her menstrual periods were unusually heavy and often lasted between nine and 14 days, a situation that consistently left her drained and physically weak.

Thomas revealed that her condition worsened after she gave birth, noting that her menstrual cycle resumed just three months postpartum and became more intense than ever. She said the excessive bleeding frequently caused her to lose consciousness, turning each monthly cycle into a distressing experience for both herself and those around her.

She explained that episodes of zoning out or collapsing became so common that people close to her had grown accustomed to managing the situation whenever her period began. Despite the recurring danger, she continued to cope until early 2021, when she decided to seek professional medical attention.

The actress said she was referred to a medical specialist, identified as Dr. Ahmed, who conducted several tests. While she was informed that her general health was stable, doctors discovered fibroids in her uterus and advised that surgery would be the most effective long-term solution.

Thomas admitted that she initially hesitated due to fears surrounding surgery and its potential consequences. However, her condition took a frightening turn during one menstrual cycle when she experienced extreme pain accompanied by abnormal tissue discharge, forcing her to seek emergency medical care late at night.

Further medical examinations revealed that the fibroid had grown significantly within her uterus, posing a serious risk to her life. She was informed that surgical removal was unavoidable and that the procedure carried major risks.

Describing the moment as a critical turning point, the actress said the decision to undergo surgery was ultimately about survival, even though it came with the possibility of losing her womb.
