Let’s Talk Fibroids: What Every Woman Needs To Know

July marks Fibroid Awareness Month, a crucial time to spotlight a condition that silently affects millions of women worldwide. Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths in or around the womb that can significantly influence a woman’s energy levels, fertility, menstrual cycle, and overall well-being.

Despite how widespread they are, fibroids remain a largely unspoken topic in many communities. Understanding what they are, how they form, and who is most at risk is the first step toward managing and overcoming them.

From heavy bleeding and pelvic pain to fatigue and fertility challenges, fibroid symptoms can range from subtle to life-disrupting. Yet myths still cloud public understanding, many believe fibroids always lead to infertility or only affect older women, which isn’t true. With the right knowledge, early detection, and proper care, women can take control of their health.
