What should be done to create more awareness on fibroids among black women?

Studies have shown that 70-80% of women will get fibroids in their lifetime. Black women carry the burden of uterine fibroids, at a much higher rate than their racial counterparts. Some women with fibroids remain asymptomatic and may go through their entire life without knowing they have the disease. The exact cause remains elusive and very few women are able to seek treatment through surgical and non – surgical methods .
Unfortunately, the literature on how to prevent fibroid development is scarce.
