She said,
"As most of you know, I returned to work a week ago after more than a month off recovering from surgery that a lot of women in this country face."

Clifford really thought she was gaining weight but her health issue turned out to be a fibroid tumor.
"This is how it happened for me. Before my surgery, when I'd look at myself in pictures or on television, I had started to wonder why my belly was getting bigger. I thought after three kids and growing older it must be the middle age spread."
"I kept feeling sick to my stomach especially in the morning, I would have a headache which I rarely ever get and I was having trouble emptying my bladder."
As per research, a lot of women have fibroid tumors. About 30% of women face the issue by they reach the age of 35 and the case can increases to about 80% by age 50.
She informed her fans and viewers on 17 March that she would remain absent from the channel for a while.
