John,

It is estimated that two-thirds of all women will experience uterine fibroids during their lifetime. As we speak, millions of women, especially Black women, are suffering constant pain from fibroids, which can cause pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, and fertility issues, and are at an increased risk of uterine cancer. Yet, the federal government is doing very little about it.

We need to take action in order to improve treatments and awareness. So many women have suffered in silence – I was one of them – but the time for silence is over. Now it’s time for action.

That is why I am proud to announce that I have reintroduced the Uterine Fibroid Intervention and Gynecological Health and Treatment Act (U-FIGHT Act). The U-FIGHT Act would create a new federal grant program for the early detection and treatment of uterine fibroids. It supports early detection, education, awareness, and research, thereby enhancing healthcare and improving people’s lives.

Early detection and intervention can reduce the need for invasive surgery and treatment options that may impact fertility. Early detection also prevents tumor progression and worsening symptoms. Currently, there is no authorization to respond to this widespread and significant problem. And I am working to change that.

If you’ve suffered from fibroids, you know – it can take over your entire life. It’s time for women to be heard. Together, we can push for this comprehensive package addressing a vital women’s health crisis.

In this together,

Shontel Brown
