Unlock a healthier future. July is Fibroid Awareness Month, which spotlights uterine fibroids, a condition affecting millions of women worldwide.

USA Fibroid Centers is dedicated to empowering women with comprehensive knowledge and access to early diagnosis and effective, non-surgical treatment options.

To help you make an informed decision about your health, USA Fibroid Centers is offering FREE fibroid screenings from July 1 to July 31. These quick and easy screenings can help identify fibroids at an early stage, paving the way for personalized treatment plans.

Understanding Uterine Fibroids: The Basics
Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas, are common, benign (non-cancerous) growths that develop in the uterus. They vary greatly in size, quantity, and location, which is why symptoms can differ significantly from person to person. While benign, fibroids can cause a range of uncomfortable and disruptive symptoms, including:
- Heavy, prolonged menstrual bleeding
- Abdominal bloating or pressure
- Pelvic pain
- Frequent urination
- Pain during intercourse
- Constipation
These symptoms can significantly impact a woman’s quality of life and, in some cases, lead to unnecessary hysterectomies. In fact, approximately 60% of hysterectomy patients aren’t aware of non-surgical alternatives.
Are You at Risk?
While the exact cause of fibroids isn’t fully understood, several factors can increase your risk:
- Age: Most common in women in their 40s and 50s.
- High BMI (Body Mass Index)
- High Blood Pressure
- Family History: A strong family history of fibroids.
- No Previous Pregnancy
- Vitamin D Deficiency
If you’re experiencing symptoms or believe you might be at risk, it’s important to talk to a healthcare professional. You can also take our quick symptom quiz to better understand your potential symptoms.
