We are excited to announce the official launch of HEY SIS!, a digital show created especially for black women and powered by Urban One, that focuses on health, wellness and living your best life. Hosted by our very own Jazze Radio-Chica.
For our inaugural episode, we decided to explore the topic of fibroids.
According to a recent article in the New York Times, black women are diagnosed with fibroids three times as frequent as their white counterparts. Another startling fact – black women start to develop them much earlier than white women (in their 20s versus 30s for white women) and their fibroids tend to be larger and more numerous.
We wanted to delve deeper into why this is happening and what solutions were available currently so we went to an expert on the matter, Dr. Suzanne Slonim, M.D., Fibroid Institute Dallas.
