Every year 4th Week of April is celebrated as #FibroidAwarenessWeek.
#Women with heavy #menstrual #bleeding, chronic #pelvicpain, and similar symptoms are often unaware that these experiences are not normal. Longtime gender biases in the medical community have resulted in the normalization and dismissal of women’s pelvic pain as an inevitable part of the #menstrualcycle, when in fact these symptoms are commonly caused by conditions such as #uterine #fibroids. Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous #tumors of varying sizes and amounts that grow in and around the #uterus. Women can have just one fibroid or many fibroids clustered together, and they can range in size from tiny seedlings to as large as a melon. #Race, #age, #diet, and #familyhistory are #risk factors for fibroids, yet the cause of fibroids is still unknown. www.masterdoctorclinic.com
