As reported by AP News, USA Fibroid Centers is offering free fibroid screenings throughout the month of July in recognition of Fibroid Awareness Month. The nationwide campaign focuses on the importance of early detection in improving treatment outcomes and raising awareness about uterine fibroids, which affect up to 80 percent of African American women and 70 percent of white women by age 50.
Early detection allows women to explore less invasive treatments before symptoms worsen. By identifying fibroids early, patients are more likely to avoid surgery and manage their symptoms with minimally invasive options like uterine fibroid embolization (UFE) that support fertility and faster recovery.
With more than 40 locations across the country, USA Fibroid Centers specializes in UFE. This non-surgical, FDA-approved treatment preserves the uterus and offers a faster recovery than other treatment options. Free screenings include a consultation with a fibroid specialist and, if necessary, an ultrasound to confirm diagnosis.
Screenings are available from July 1 through July 31. To book an appointment, women can call (888) 986-6103 and mention “free screening.”
