CIGC recognizes fibroid awareness month, supporting women everywhere

Recognizing Fibroid Awareness Month 

By age 50, as many as 80% of women will develop fibroids, which are noncancerous growths in the uterus. Fibroids are common, yet many people do not fully understand what they are or the impact they can have. CIGC recognizes Fibroid Awareness Month every July to help affected people understand the condition and its symptoms, the importance of early diagnosis and the best available treatment options. 

Fibroid Awareness Month was started by The White Dress Project to promote awareness, raise funds for research and increase support for people with fibroids. Because many women who experience heavy bleeding from fibroids are afraid to wear white, The White Dress Project uses the symbol of a white dress to illustrate what a fibroid-free life could look like after treatment.
