Because women’s health is a top priority, USA Fibroid Centers are helping women nationwide find answers if they suffer from painful periods.
Northbrook, IL, May 1, 2023—May is Women’s Health Month, and USA Fibroid Centers is offering free uterine fibroid screening from May 1 through May 31, 2022. Uterine fibroids are a widespread problem affecting about one in 10 women between the ages of 18 and 50, often causing painful symptoms and other serious health conditions.
This month, USA Fibroid Centers is focusing on awareness of early detection and treatment of fibroid disease to empower women to recognize fibroids and take control of their uterine health.
USA Fibroid Centers offers free screenings to help women prioritize their health. A large quantitative survey of U.S. women living with fibroids reported that women wait women waited an average of 3.5 years after experiencing symptoms before seeking a diagnosis with 32 percent delaying five years before seeking treatment. 1
Fibroids are growths in, on, and around the uterus. While they are tumors, they are typically non-cancerous. An estimated 75% of reproductive-age women have uterine fibroids. Symptoms include pelvic pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, pregnancy loss and infertility.
While fibroids may be suspected during a physical exam, a fibroid screening can confirm a diagnosis. A uterus ultrasound is one of the safest and most accurate screening tools for detecting uterine fibroids. This simple and painless test takes 15 minutes. Screenings are important to detecting problems early when successful treatment options are the greatest.
“During Women’s Health Month, which encompasses Mother’s Day, we want to highlight the importance of women being proactive about their health,” said Yan Katsnelson, M.D., USA Fibroid Centers Founder and CEO. “It is important to empower women to be aware of fibroid symptoms and spread awareness about Uterine Fibroid Embolization, an outpatient procedure that treats fibroids without surgery. Because fibroids can impact fertility and pregnancy, women who want to have or add to their family should know their fibroid risk and treatment options.”
As part of the USA Clinics Group network with over 166 outpatient locations nationwide, USA Fibroid Centers is the leader in Uterine Fibroid Embolization, a procedure that treats fibroids without surgery and preserves the uterus and fertility.
