SUMMARY:Focus on Fibroids Series: Tools to Navigate Optimal Care
DESCRIPTION:Uterine fibroids (leiomyomas) are non-malignant growths of the uterus and one of the most common gynecological conditions nationwide. A growing and overlooked public health issue\, fibroids affect approximately 26 million American women between the ages 15 to 50\, however fibroids can affect patients across life stages from adolescence to post-menopause. \nWith a wide array of common symptoms\, such as severe and irregular menstrual bleeding\, pelvic and pain back\, bladder or bowel dysfunction\, and challenges with fertility\, fibroids can result in significant health issues. Further\, women with fibroids can experience delays in diagnosis due to stigma around menstrual disorders and normalization of symptoms by both patients and healthcare providers alike. \nDiagnosing and treating uterine fibroids often requires a personalized approach that combines an assessment of a patient’s values and needs with medical treatments and wellness strategies to help each individual maintain a full and high quality of life. The Society for Women’s Health Research has created educational materials to increase awareness and understanding of uterine fibroids and help individuals with uterine fibroids navigate their care. \nSWHR hosted this webinar as part of its Focus on Fibroids Series: Empowering Women to Live Well with Uterine Fibroids to share educational information about uterine fibroids\, including diagnosis\, treatment options\, access to care\, and disparities\, as well as highlight the experiences of women living with fibroids. \nThe SWHR Focus on Fibroids series includes: \n\nCongressional Briefing: Supporting Women with Fibroids Through Policy Action (July 13\, 2021)\nTools to Navigate Optimal Care (November 29\, 2021): this event \nEmpowering Women through Personal Journey-telling (December 6\, 2021)\n\nCheck out the new Uterine Fibroids Toolkit: A Patient Empowerment Guide to learn more about risks and treatments. \nFollow along on social media at #SWHRtalksFibroids.
