Actress Zainab Balogun narrated how she was ‘miraculously’ cured of stage 3 endometriosis and ovarian cyst.
In a video posted on her Instagram page on Tuesday, the 32-year-old shared her story which began when she was diagnosed with the life threatening illness in 2020.
The actress said the cyst recurred and “came back stronger” in 2022, despite earlier removal thorough surgery.
She said, “I have wanted to say these eight words for a very long time, that ‘I am the woman God has shown mercy’. My story started in 2020 when I discovered I had two ovarian cyst and I had to have surgery for that. I was also diagnosed with stage 3 endometriosis.
“Fast forward to 2022, these cyst had reoccurred. The left cyst on my left ovary actually came back ‘stronger’ than before. So I was told I have to undergo surgery to remove the left ovary and left cyst in order to protect the right one, so that I can go ahead and do egg freezing.
“And I was saying ‘God by April I don’t want to see these cysts in my body again. I want something new, something different. April scans came, the cysts had reduced in size and I said, ‘God, I receive it, I’m grateful. However, this healing is not complete.’
“Surgery was scheduled for the 4th 0f July. On the 1st of July I went to do my pre-surgery scans and before I left, I said to God that I want this scan to be different, and I felt it in my spirit that the Holy spirit was telling me, ‘Tomorrow, you’ll know.’
“So I went for the scan. The radiologist said he could see the left cyst, however the right one has reabsorbed and I asked ‘what’s the difference in the size?’. He said, ‘I can’t see it, it’s not there anymore.’” .
The actress said she cancelled her scheduled surgery due to scan, and resumed prayers, believing God will perfect the miracle. She afterwards visited another doctor who diagnosed her with a blocked fallopian tube after a MRI scan.
According to her, it was during the discussion of treatments for the blocked fallopian tube that it was discovered she no longer had cysts in her body.
Born in London, Zainab spends time between Nigeria and the United Kingdom.
She got married to founder and CEO of JetWest Airways, Dikko Nwachukwu, in May 2018.
