INTRODUCING FIBROID FIGHTERS
Together We Can
FIBROID EPIDEMIC: THE CRISIS
Every 10 minutes, 12 hysterectomies are performed in the United States. Even more astonishing, up to nine of them did not meet the guidelines set for a hysterectomy- rendering those procedures medically unnecessary. Due to the fact that patients are not always made aware of other options, up to 60 percent of these surgeries are performed for the treatment of Uterine Fibroids. Thankfully, there are non-surgical , effective solutions that alleviates debilitating symptoms, while also preserving a woman’s reproductive system and fertility.

- Advocate public and private payer coverage for uterine fibroids embolization.
- Engage in fundraising activities with public and private companies to support the Foundation’s mission and activities.
Approximately 80 percent of women develop uterine fibroids by age 50. This makes education about fibroids important because a large majority of women will get fibroids at some time in their lives. Click here to learn what could put you at risk: bit.ly/fibroids-risk-factors
Taking our motto "Together We Can" to a higher level. We partnered with Tanika Gray Valbrun and her organization, The White Dress Project: We CAN Wear White, to bring you a powerful panel discussion. We discussed ways in which we can break the silence for women suffering alone with uterine fibroids. Stay tuned for our video.
