Fibroids affect approximately three out of four American women. Many women dismiss symptoms of fibroids (also known as myomas) including, heavy monthly periods, pain or pressure between the hip bones or back of the legs, a frequent need to urinate, constipation and bloating and an enlarged abdomen. Fibroid related symptoms cause women to lose an estimated 2-4 million days of productivity a year. African-American women, and those of any race with a family history, are more likely to develop fibroids than other women. It’s estimated that between 50% and 80% of African-American women will develop fibroids. Fibroids are the #1 reason for hysterectomy in this country— up to 75% of hysterectomies done are for this non-cancerous condition that can be treated without surgery!

The City of Atlanta's Department of Recreation and Cultural Affairs rolled out the red carpet for vendors all over Metro Atlanta for the annual health fair for city employees. The health fair drew hundreds of workers who were eager to gain information on health related issues including fibroids and UFE. Of course, our signature pink bags were a hit as usual.
