Hi, I’m Beverly Johnson. As a model, actress and business woman, much of my career and life has centered around taking care of my body and my health. Still, I was not immune to suffering from uterine fibroids, an often painful condition that affects up to 75% of American women.

I was uninformed and unprepared to manage the treatment of my uterine fibroids, and as a result, it took me many years to recover from the surgeries I had to treat them. Unfortunately, many women are in the same place I was when it comes to understanding uterine fibroids. A recent national survey* found the majority of women have misconceptions about uterine fibroids and lack basic information about treatment options.

You only have one body – take good care of it! Join me in the cause to ensure women are informed about uterine fibroids – who is at risk and the resources and host of treatment options that are available. Learn the answers to the 4 questions all women should ask about uterine fibroids, and help others by sharing this information with 4 or more of your friends, family members, and colleagues.

*Survey cited was sponsored by BioSphere Medical and conducted by Caravan Research Corporation. The survey was conducted via telephone to 1,000 women during July 2007.
