Women are often told painful periods, heavy bleeding, and debilitating cramps are a normal part of their life. At Hologic®, we know that’s not the case. With our range of options for uterine healthcare—together with your doctor—we can help make a better life possible.
We are so glad you're here! Think you pulled the short straw, period-wise? Maybe you’ve never discussed heavy bleeding, fibroids, or matters of the uterus with your doctor — or even your friends and family. Or maybe you’ve been suffering and seeking answers for a while now. Either way, you’re not alone! Within this series of emails you will learn more about fibroid symptoms, understand how to talk to your doctor about abnormalities and discover your options!
You are not alone
48% of US women are confident they could identify the five major parts of the uterus, and even less women could identify the difference between fibroids, polyps, and cysts.1
And yet, 75-80% of people with a uterus will be diagnosed with fibroids at some point in their lives.2
Whether you know a little or a lot about your uterus, it’s not always easy to know what’s normal.
