The Puerto Rican journalist Bárbara Bermudo showed herself vulnerable on social networks in order to make visible an issue that compromised her health. She said that for a few years she had been living without knowing that what affected her was the disease of breast implants.
The presenter of the program ‘First Impact’ It was pronounced two weeks after having removed the breast implants with which he lived for 17 years and which triggered ASIA syndrome.
“I gave myself permission to show myself at a vulnerable moment and although it was hard to hit the record button I know I did the right thing. Here I hit rock bottom, I couldn’t take it anymore. Although I recorded this video several weeks ago, today it makes sense and responsibility to share it, ”she wrote to accompany the video in which she was drowning in tears when telling what was happening in her body.
According to the video, he started with the symptoms about four years ago. During this time, she visited several doctors, but none could find the cause of her medical problems.
In the audiovisual material, she confessed that of the 150 symptoms to which patients with this syndrome are exposed, she was suffering approximately 70. “The disease of breast implants is real,” she said.
Bárbara Bermudo reported that she did not focus on changing her prostheses 10 years after having the operation, as the doctors recommend, because she had her daughters followed up more or less at that time.
“I am one of the thousands of women who struggled for years looking for the root of my symptoms, without finding answers. Today I have found it #soylibre and I promise to help as many women who may be going through the same thing. Trust in God, as he did with me, he will also with you, because it is a leap of faith, ”she wrote in her post.
The journalist wants to be a voice for those women who have had breast implants placed and who, like her, are trying to understand what is happening to their health that deteriorates without any doctor finding the cause.
“Breast implant disease is produced by a chronic inflammatory reaction as a defense mechanism of our cells against the foreign body that is the prosthesis and that can trigger a state of autoimmunity which is when your own defenses stop recognizing the body and attack it. The disease was accepted in 2019 by the FDA, ”he explained in his text.
Bárbara Bermudo also thanked her husband for accompanying her in the process, supporting her in the decision to explant the breast implants, take care of her and her daughters in the hard transit of this disease.
“Without your love, understanding, and patience I would not have been able to take this step. You encouraged me to make the most important decision of my life. My unconditional nurse; you worked 24 hours as a father, husband and nurse. I love you, ”he wrote to his life partner.
