Few days ago, precisely July 9, 2023, Nordica Fibroid Centre, a subsidiary of Nordica Fertility Centre marked the second anniversary of providing top notch treatment of fibroid in women.
Since inception the fibroid centre which is located No 19 Chief Augustine Anozie Street Off Adeniyi Adelowo street, Off Admiralty Way, Eti-Osa, Lekki, Lagos has become a medical solution centre which has put smiles on faces of a record of 324 patients who were serious battling with Fibroids and after the treatment they were declared Fibroid free.
In a recent media chat on the 2nd anniversary of the centre, the MD/CEO of Nordica Fibroid Centre, Dr. Abayomi Ajayi spoke extensively on the feet made so far and how the high tech HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound) machine has been helpful in delivery a timely and seamless treatment of fibroids in patients.
“There is every reason to celebrate and to be grateful to God. It is something we started 2 years ago. It was something that was not known at all by the time we came to Nigeria. And in 2 years we were able to do 324 cases. We just came back from a conference in China on HIFU and everybody celebrated it.
“Many women have had to live with fibroid for a long time because of the fear of surgery. That was one the things that drew me into the thing in the first place. Is it possible to treat fibroid without surgery? And that was what I have been propelling to see. When we finally saw HIFU, we took it with both hands. And I don’t think we have any reason to reject it. A lot of women have embraced it. We have even seen some testimonial videos.
“there is even a bank that has been quite supportive with this. They have been looking at women and sponsoring their treatment. HIFU is a technology that allows a single surgeon to do about 100-150 or 2000 in a year if well trained. You don’t really need anaesthesia. you don’t even need a room to admit because it’s a day’s case. It’s so easy that all you just do is lie down for about 1 to 2 hours. That’s the end of the story, you go home and by the next day you can eat anything. 48 hours after that you can do almost anything. I think the convenience to the patient and the practitioner, there is no blood transfusion. Even on the day of the procedure, the doctor does not even touch you at all. You are on a different bed and he is on his own seat using the software to treat the fibroid. So, I think it is a wonderful thing. It’s been easy-peasy most of the time. Yes a few of them have had complaints that we have had to attend to. But most of them were done without a hitch.
