Know the Symptoms of Fibroids: Be Your Own Health Advocate

Dr. Erica Montes

Sometimes your different symptoms may not make you think of fibroids, but it could be the cause. Many people who have fibroids experience symptoms that include:

💥Heavy Bleeding

💥Pain

💥Urinary Frequency

💥Constipation

💥Pressure

It is so important to understand these symptoms and notice when something might be off, so that people can have informed discussions with their healthcare providers.

I’m excited to partner with The White Dress Project & Healthy Women with the goals of:

✔️Illustrating life with fibroids,

✔️Educating the community in an effort to encourage self-advocacy, and

✔️Strengthening the patient-healthcare provider relationship and interaction.

Remember to be your own advocate and if you feel something is wrong, ask more questions! You have the right to be an active participant in your healthcare! Why? Because you are worth it! 💛
