The Fibroid Foundation Announces the #askHER Initiative
The Fibroid Foundation announces the launch of a new initiative to promote conversation about uterine fibroids and to, ultimately, create a safe space where those diagnosed with fibroids can find support.
Seventy percent of all women develop uterine fibroids. With these shocking statistics, it might seem that everyone would be familiar with the term “fibroid,” but this is not the case. In The Fibroid Foundation’s role as patient advocates, the organization finds that many people are not aware of a health concern with such incredibly high diagnosis rates. So The Fibroid Foundation wondered, “How can we raise awareness of uterine fibroids in a way that engages everyone?”
That was the origin of the #askHER initiative.
#askHER and provide a safe space to:
- Hear her story
- Better understand how she’s feeling
- Understand how fibroids affect the family unit
- Find ways to help with advocacy
- Learn how to support future generations
As a community, we can find solutions to fibroids and erase the stigma around menstruation.
Let’s #askHER and create a movement. Let’s include everyone in this important conversation.
