Exclusive: KamalaHarris and RepYvetteClarke introduce bill to provide new funding for research and education on uterine fibroids
Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that affect an estimated 26 million people in the U.S., and they are the leading cause for hysterectomies. Black women develop them earlier, have larger and greater numbers of fibroids, and experience more severe symptoms than white women."Millions of women across the country are affected by uterine fibroids, which can present serious health complications," Sen. Harris told Refinery29.
There is a serious lack of education about the condition, despite the fact that it is incredibly common — most women will get them by the time they're 50 — exacerbated by the fact that Black women are less likely to have their pain and symptoms taken seriously by doctors. Many women with fibroids have no symptoms, but others experience significant pelvic pain, anemia, miscarriages, infertility, and heavy bleeding.
"This bill is an important first step towards making women’s healthcare a priority by addressing uterine fibroids," Rep. Clarke told Refinery29."Many women who suffer from uterine fibroids have their condition go undiagnosed as a result of a lack of education about the disease. Each year, approximately 7 million women in the U.S. suffer the symptoms of fibroids and an estimated 330,000 symptomatic women reside in New York.
This bill is supported by the Black Women’s Health Imperative, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the National Association of Nurse Practitioners, and many other organizations.
