About this episode

Three out of four women over fifty have fibroids, and many never know it. For the ones who do feel them, heavier periods, pressure, fatigue that doesn't make sense, the symptoms tend to creep in slowly enough to seem normal. The panel walks through what fibroids actually are, the specific questions a doctor should be asking, and why ultrasound alone often underestimates what's there.

If men were responsible for reproduction, we'd be extinct a million years ago. (Dr. Jamal Mourad)
