Uterine Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in the uterus and affect 40% to 80% of women during their childbearing years. Fibroids are quite common, and while they can cause discomfort and other symptoms, they are usually manageable.
However, for Black and African women, fibroids can be particularly concerning.
Black and African women are more likely to develop fibroids compared to women of other ethnicities. The growth of fibroids in Black and African women is larger than the smaller growth of their counterparts, thus, causing more pain, and discomfort and can be life-threatening. In today's episode, TheVoice Robinson and Special guests, Rebecca West, Krystal Guion, and retired-registered nurse Kim Robinson will discuss:
- Symptoms and the discomfort of fibroids
- Factors that play a role in the development of fibroids
- Hysterectomies and other treatment options
- Limited medical information regarding fibroids and fibroid care/resolve
- Pregnancy and the effects fibroids may cause during childbirth
- Menopause and Perimenopause Experiences and Symptoms
