A condition as common as uterine fibroids shouldn’t live in the shadows. Yet more than 80% of women affected by fibroids wait years to seek treatment, or never do.1
We’re here to educate, advocate, and collaborate for a critical gynecological health issue that impacts so many. But it doesn’t start and end with the month of July. Discover how Medtronic is supporting fibroid awareness and solutions throughout the year to help you give your patients
the quality care they deserve.
Shine a light on fibroids.
Not all women know what fibroids are. And even fewer know the treatment options available to them.

and fertility challenges
Fibroids

Helping patients recognize the signs and symptoms of fibroids and know what questions to ask their healthcare provider starts with an honest conversation.
So we’ve created a patient toolkit to further discussions about fibroids that can help patients get earlier diagnosis and the best course of treatment.
Help them be fibroid-free.
For patients living with fibroids, the care and course of treatment they receive impacts not only their quality of life, but those around them.
We develop minimally invasive innovations to treat fibroids — and provide the support and options needed to help get patients back to their daily lives.
At Medtronic, we offer a wide range of products to ensure you have the right tool — for every patient, every procedure.
Help your patients find the relief they deserve with this recent study about critical pathways for diagnosing and treating abnormal uterine bleeding.
The future of fibroid treatment
starts here.
