Overview

• In an exclusive People interview, Davis recounted weeks‐long heavy bleeding and extreme bloating that led to a 2021 myomectomy removing six fibroids.
• An early-2024 ultrasound detected about 13 new fibroids, and specialists outlined three treatment paths: repeat myomectomy, uterine artery embolization or hysterectomy.
• Online speculation about a pregnancy following her bloated appearance during the March Oscars pre-show intensified her push for a definitive solution.
• After consulting multiple clinicians and deciding she does not want more children, Davis chose a hysterectomy as the only permanent cure.
• She will share her journey in upcoming interviews with her gynecologist and fellow survivors to foster dialogue and destigmatize fibroids among Black women.
