UTERINE FIBROIDS

Overview

In the U.S., a significant number of adults deal with uterine fibroids, yet many remain undiagnosed or do not seek professional guidance. Fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the uterus that can lead to a range of symptoms, potentially affecting one's quality of life, including professional and personal aspects.

Every year, numerous adults experience the effects of undiagnosed fibroids. Research indicates that those living with fibroids often encounter misunderstandings and misconceptions, which can lead to frustration, low self-esteem, and anxiety about their condition.
