By the time they reach the age of 50, 80% of women will have uterine fibroids, which are a prevalent condition. 1 However, because not all fibroids are symptomatic, they may go undetected and the majority of women may never even be aware that they have them. Some uterine fibroids may necessitate a hysterectomy, which is a medical procedure to remove the uterus. In reality, 200,000 hysterectomies are performed yearly in the United States alone.
