Fibroids are categorized based on their location within the uterus: intramural, submucosal, subserosal, and pedunculated.

“The most common symptoms of uterine fibroids include:

🔵Heavy menstrual bleeding or painful periods.
🔵Longer or more frequent periods.
🔵Pelvic pressure or pain.
🔵Frequent urination or trouble urinating.
🔵Growing stomach area.
🔵Constipation.
🔵Pain in the stomach area or lower back, or pain during s*x.

Rarely, a fibroid can cause sudden, serious pain when it outgrows its blood supply and starts to die.”

Additionally, women who have uterine fibroids may experience anxiety, depression, and a decreased quality of life, among other mental and emotional health issues. Fibroids' physical symptoms, like excessive bleeding, discomfort, and bloating, can exacerbate mental distress and have a detrimental impact on social interactions and self-esteem.

July is Fibroids Awareness Month 💙

It is believed that 1 in 5 ( or even 1 in 3 from other sources) women of reproductive age will be diagnosed with fibroids. While fibroids are not malignant, they can cause life altering symptoms such as heavy bleeding and miscarriage. Black women, especially Afro-Caribbean women are disproportionately affected by this condition.

These statistics tell us that we most likely know at least one person living with fibroids. Therefore, educating ourselves on the condition is key in making the world a kinder and safer place for our

We challenge you to educate yourselves on fibroids this month!

Around the world, countries are making progress in providing workplace support for women with endometriosis and adenomyosis.

We commend the Portuguese government's efforts to implement this law, which will help thousands of women feel safe, heard, and protected in the workplace.

" Employees who experience severe and disabling pain caused by endometriosis or adenomyosis during their menstrual period are entitled to paid leave for up to three consecutive days per month of work (i.e., up to 36 days per year). This leave is fully paid by the employer.

To be eligible for this leave, the employee must provide the employer with a medical certificate confirming a diagnosis of endometriosis or adenomyosis accompanied by debilitating pain. This certificate is only required when the leave is initially taken and does not need to be renewed."
