Join Fibroid Institute Houston and Her Womb Wellness in partnership with Barbara Jordan Leadership Institute for an important conversation in honor of July’s Uterine Fibroid Awareness Month.
What Are Fibroids?
Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that affect up to 70–80% of women, with Black and Hispanic women experiencing a disproportionate burden. While many fibroids are symptom-free, about 1 in 4 women will experience painful and sometimes debilitating symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, chronic pelvic pain, frequent urination, constipation, back pain, infertility, and pregnancy complications.
Historically, hysterectomy has been the most common treatment, but today there are many less invasive options available—including myomectomy, uterine fibroid embolization (UFE), thermal ablation, and pharmaceutical therapies.
