My guest on today’s episode is Latoya Busumbru, a fibroids and women’s health campaigner and advocate.
In this episode, Latoya shares:
How fainting and vomiting during her period led her to realise that her menstrual experience was very different to that of her friends Why it took her over 4 years to receive a fibroid diagnosis The symptoms that led her doctor to take her concerns seriously Her negative experience of the copper coilThe changes she made to reduce the painful periods and manage the growth of the remaining fibroids What inspired her to start Womb BaeThe campaigning work she’s doing in Ghana to help reduce period povertyAnd of course, the story of her first periodLatoya says you shouldn’t shy away from advocating for yourself. She says it’s so important to do your research so that you get the support you need.
Thank you, Latoya!
