Did you know that up to 80% of all women will have fibroids by the age of 50?1 Now, is the time to talk about fibroids as an important women’s health issue.
Use the hashtag #WhyIWearWhite to raise awareness of National Fibroid Awareness Month and tell the world that fibroids don’t need to control your lifestyle.

Fibroids may cause: heavy bleeding, cramping, bloating, frequent urination and trouble conceiving1
