Women of #African descent suffer far more from #fibroids than white women but mainstream agencies have failed to highlight information on this topic. Black women are more likely to develop multiple, larger and more aggressive fibroids. Therefore it is important that they are empowered with accurate and reliable information about fibroids, including prevention and treatment options.
In this session of short talks and videos we will cover, symptoms, risk factors and prevention methods as below:
How physical activity helps manage the effects of Fibroids. -Candice Bryan
