Black Women & Fibroids: Is UFE Right for Me?
Manage episode 380029720 series 3338296
On this special edition of The Cool Soror Podcast, we welcome Dr. John Lipman. As the Founder and Medical Director of the Atlanta Fibroid Center, Dr. John Lipman specializes in the nonsurgical treatment of uterine fibroids with a procedure called Uterine Fibroid Embolization (UFE).
According to Lipman, UFE is a procedure that takes less than an hour and ensures a faster recovery. This life-saving procedure offers an alternative to invasive procedures and complications from having a full hysterectomy. Approximately 26 million women in the U.S. are diagnosed with fibroids and Dr. Lipman believes that the failure to inform women of UFE is a continuation of medical disparities in the African American community. The Cool Soror Podcast believes that women have a right to choose what is best for their health. We simply wanted to use this platform to provide more information.
