What Are Fibroids?

Understanding the Facts. Empowering Choice.

What are they?

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous (benign) growths of the uterus that frequently appear during childbearing years. They are not associated with an increased risk of uterine cancer.

Common Symptoms

Many women show no symptoms, while others experience heavy menstrual bleeding, prolonged periods, pelvic pain, frequent urination, and difficulty conceiving.

Why Awareness Matters

Early detection through ultrasound screening helps women access less invasive treatment pathways, preserving fertility and drastically increasing quality of life.

Our Impact Programs

Active community initiatives designed to foster solidarity, education, and health support.
