Fibroids Awareness Month
July is Fibroids Awareness Month. The National Institutes of Health estimates that 80% of all women will develop uterine fibroids at some point during their lives. Because many women don’t experience any symptoms, it’s possible the incidence of uterine fibroids is even higher. Fibroids are considered benign or noncancerous, but they can lead to pain, suffering and complications. This forum will provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of fibroids and resources to support women who are managing life with them.
In-person seating is limited and face masks are required for all in-person attendees. Please RSVP at [email protected] for the event’s address.
