July 2020 Topic: Fibroid Awareness Month
In a condition that affects 70-80% of American women by age 50, there appears to be a lack of research and treatment options for fibroids. Fibroids should be considered a major public health issue given the cost on the healthcare system and the magnitude of the problem. For Fibroid Awareness Month, Dr. J puts the focus on fibroids and the toll it takes on women of childbearing age.
Dr. J begins the discussion with a definition and scope of the problem, moving on to diagnosis and conventional treatment options. In the last half hour, natural treatments are discussed including diet, lifestyle and supplementation that may be helpful for fibroid management.
