Symptoms And Risk Factors Of Fibroids

Welcome back! This week I’m joined by Dr Jacqueline Anita Sowah to talk about symptoms and how to spot fibroids. Dr Sowah attended the University of Ghana Medical School and graduated in 2010. She is passionate about maternal health and believes no woman should die whilst giving birth.

She has worked at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology and is currently doing her residency program in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the Korle-bu Teaching Hospital. She hopes to improve maternal health with her chosen speciality. She experienced incessant bleeding and that started her personal fibroid journey.
