Uterine Health Guide
In partnership with Pfizer, we have developed the Uterine Health Guide. Although more than 800 million people around the world have their period on any given day, periods can still be hard to talk about openly. It’s important to recognize red flags when it comes to your period and uterine health.
Your Uterine Health Guide is here to help you better understand it all.
Uterine Fibroids Toolkit: A Patient Empowerment Guide
While an estimated 26 million women ages 15-50 in United States have uterine fibroids, these statistics about fibroids are often underestimated.
Uterine fibroids (leiomyomas) are tumors made of smooth muscle and fibrous connective tissue that arise from the uterus and are one of the most common gynecological conditions nationwide.
Fibroids can develop in any girl or woman after the onset of her menstrual cycle. Although fibroids are most commonly diagnosed in individuals in their 30s and 40s, they can occur in adolescents and postmenopausal women, particularly those using hormone therapy. Fibroids tend to increase during the reproductive years and then shrink after menopause. These growths are non-malignant and are not associated with an increased risk of uterine cancer, but they can result in mild to severe side effects and can affect one’s quality of life.
The White Dress Project has partnered with the Society for Women’s Heath Research to create a toolkit designed to empower individuals with uterine fibroids in navigating their care.
The toolkit provides easy-to-understand information on gynecological health, guidance on uterine fibroid diagnosis and treatment, and tips for interacting with your health care provider. The toolkit aims to facilitate productive conversations between patients and health care providers so people with uterine fibroids can get the care they need.
What’s Normal When It Comes to Menstrual Bleeding?
Is your heavy period normal, or could it be a symptom of something else? Heavy menstrual bleeding is one of the most common problems women report to their healthcare providers — and many more cases may be unreported because women don’t realize anything is wrong.
Many women assume heavy bleeding is normal, but it could be a symptom of uterine fibroids.
Uterine fibroids are:
Muscular growths of the uterus
Benign (non-cancerous)
Linked to health problems such as pelvic pain, anemia (low iron) and infertility
What Are My Treatment Options for Uterine Fibroids?
1 in 5 U.S. women believe that the only treatment for fibroids is a hysterectomy. Hysterectomies used to be the only treatment option for fibroids. Thanks to medical advances, there are new options. Treatment is not a one size fits all approach. Talk to your HCP about your symptoms, fertility and treatment goals, location, and size of the fibroids to see what options are available for your situation!
