Fibroid Facts & Yoni Pearl Yikes

33 minutes

What's going down:

A deep dive into fibroids: what they are, why we get them, potential risks, and who is most likely to develop them

The diagnosis process for fibroids and what to expect if you are diagnosed

Treatment options: non-surgical vs. surgical treatments and how to determine the best option for your body

Why Black women and fibroid care is the perfect example of racism in healthcare

Clitorally disgusted that Yoni Pearls exist at all - Find out why I say "no Yoni pearls in your Yoni" and watch this TikTok here.
