Fibroid Relief

Bio

Living with fibroids is a discouraging reality for hundreds of thousands of women. In addition to the pain and anxiety they face every day, fibroid sufferers must struggle to determine the best treatment to relieve their symptoms. Now, there's some great news. In 2004, the FDA approved a new treatment for uterine fibroids that is non-invasive and can be performed on an outpatient basis. It's called focused ultrasound surgery. And there's a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping women with uterine fibroids take advantage of it. That's Fibroid Relief. At Fibroid Relief, we are committed to raising awareness of the benefits of focused ultrasound surgery among patients, physicians, and insurance companies through education and advocacy. Our goal is to ensure that this breakthrough treatment becomes more widely available and better accepted. While on our website, you'll find: information about focused ultrasound surgery, the location of the nearest treatment center, and guidance to help you work more effectively with your insurer. Sincerely, Joy M. Polefrone, PhD Executive Director Fibroid Relief
