What Are Uterine Fibroids?
Uterine fibroids are benign tumors that form in the uterus, affecting about 70% of women at some point in their lives. According to a 2020 survey by the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, an estimated 189,000 patients seek treatment for uterine fibroids each year in Japan. These growths can vary in size and location, leading to a range of symptoms that can significantly impact a woman's quality of life.
Target Demographic
Women in their 30s and 40s are often the most affected demographic, juggling career ambitions, parenting, and sometimes even elder care. Many face challenges when considering treatment options, such as a lack of time, the need for extended periods off work, or concerns about who will take care of their children during hospitalization. The aim of this seminar is to address these concerns and provide valuable information about treatment options.
The Importance of Knowing Treatment Options
Given the busy lives of many women today, there is a clear preference for treatment methods that do not require long hospital stays. Recently, various non-surgical methods that offer shorter recovery times and quicker returns to everyday activities have gained popularity. It is essential for women to be aware of the diverse treatment options available, tailored to individual circumstances and needs.
Shibata's Insight
At the seminar, Rie Shibata will share her personal treatment journey, detailing her experiences before and after the procedure. Her story may resonate with many attendees, shedding light on the emotional and physical aspects of dealing with uterine fibroids and the choices available for effective relief without the need for surgery.
