Great #Awareness 👏 Presumed #fibroids could also be uterine #sarcoma #leiomyosarcoma as no preop test or imaging can differentiate. Good to be aware of differentiatial diagnosis especially if considering surgery as #morcellation can cause tissue dissemination & worsen prognosis

Our campaign highlighted the need for a global change where all stakeholders are better informed about fibroids so they are empowered to take action to improve the health and wellbeing of the many women affected by this condition.
Specifically, we were calling for a greater level of awareness of:
- The symptoms of fibroids to facilitate an early and accurate diagnosis;
- All the treatment options available so that women can make an informed decision about the treatment that best suits their situation; and
- What actions women with fibroids can take to improve their physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing
If you missed our campaign, you can read about this joint effort here.
We’ll continue to work with our global partners to raise awareness and provide support to women who have been affected by fibroids. In the meantime, you can find out more about our fibroids information and support programme here.
Check out some tweets from some of our global partners and you can visit social media to read through all our posts during the campaign. And, if you have any questions or comments you can leave them in the comments box below or email us.

Uterine fibroids (also known as leiomyomas or myomas) are the most common form of benign uterine tumors.
Do you know the symptoms? Knowing them can help facilitate an early and accurate diagnosis. #fibroids #uterinefibroids#womenshealthmatters@lakehealthwell @JuliaMandeville pic.twitter.com/58hQnkNKQS— Barbados Association of Endometriosis and PCOS (@Endoandpcosbb) June 25, 2019
We’re all aware that stress isn’t good for us, but did you know that stress levels wreak havoc on our gut? Doing too much exercise, not getting enough sleep and not feeling moments of joy and pleasure in our daily life causes stress that can be linked to the health of our gut.
Thank you for getting in touch and raising awareness of the link between stress and gut health. This is useful to know and hopefully, our website visitors will use this information as a stepping stone to learning more about this.
