Know Your U

12/12/2025

What do Venus Williams, Lupita Nyong'o, Bozoma Saint John, and countless other women worldwide have in common? They’ve bravely used their platforms to share their personal stories and raise awareness about a uterine health issue called fibroids.

Maybe you’ve read about these women, or you know others who have come forward to share their experience with the condition. In the U.S, nearly 70% of white women and more than 80% of Black women will have uterine fibroids by the age of 50. And most U.S. women will develop fibroids in their lifetime.¹ Unfortunately, many wait years to seek treatment for disruptive symptoms. Why is that the case for such a common health concern? An article from Newsweek sheds light on some reasons why.

Women who suffer from heavy bleeding and pelvic pain—and are told their symptoms are normal—might not know that those could be signs of fibroids. And if they are diagnosed, a hysterectomy may be the only treatment option they're offered.

Our goal is to empower women to speak up for better care. If your period is negatively impacting your life, or you have fibroids and want to know about uterine-sparing procedures, we're here to help.

Being informed is key to advocating for your health. 💬

Take it from Dr. Jennifer Elliott, who says there's nothing wrong with women asking their provider questions.

If you're feeling unsure of where to begin, we understand. Start the conversation with a question like…

➡️ I’ve noticed that my periods have changed. Can we talk about that?
➡️ My lower back and legs are really painful on my period; is that normal?
➡️ I’ve heard that many women are getting treated for heavy periods…is this something I should consider?

Women are often told painful, heavy periods are part of who they are. We know that's not the case. 🙅‍♀️

Using more than one pad or tampon every hour could be a sign of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), often caused by fibroids, polyps, or other health conditions.

The good news is there’s a treatment option that can lighten or end your heavy period.¹ NovaSure® endometrial ablation is a non-hormonal procedure that requires no incisions, and many women return to normal activities the next day.
