According to the National Institute of Health, menstrual irregularities occur in up to 25% of women of childbearing age in the United States. Additionally, 70% of white women, and 80% of African American women will develop uterine fibroids. We need to talk about menstrual health.
A livestreamed conversation about periods, endometriosis, and abnormal bleeding led by our Women's Health Task Force's Dr. Dominique DiLorenzo and Dr. Raadia Khan. The conversation will be streamed live on Facebook and women who register will be invited to join a private Q & A on Zoom after the livestream ends.
