Hello Uterus

#7: Abnormal Uterine Bleeding and Emerging Medications


Listen Later

Gimme an A! In today’s episode, we break down AUB, AKA: abnormal uterine bleeding. This condition comes for your sleep, your care free days at the beach, your sanity while at work…your everything. It’s a period run amok. It’s not normal. And 1 in 3 people experience AUB. We bring you the symptoms, things to watch out for and what causes AUB. (Next week we’ll get into treatments.)

 

In this week's Hear Me! Hear Me! Q & A segment, we talk about the relationship between birth control pills and fibroids. Is birth control the solution? And wait till you hear about this emerging medicine to treat fibroids! Is it a treatment if it doesn’t actually treat the fibroids? Thanks, big pharma! 

 

We end on a HUGE high note this week! A breakthrough in cancer treatment, one we’ve been waiting years for, all packed into a…single pill?! High fives to Dr. Ratna Vadlamudi and the scientists at the University of Texas. We can’t thank and cheer y’all on enough. 

 

Thanks for listening, learning and being you. And join us back here every Tuesday for all things uterus, in service to you, uterinekind.
