On the Hologic FAQ page, I'm researching fibroids and heavy periods. Can you outline the common symptoms for both, describe available treatment options for fibroids, state how common fibroids are among U.S. women by age 50, and clarify if there's a genetic link or increased risk for fibroid development?
Navigate to the 'FAQs' page under 'For Patients' -> 'Know Your U'. Open the 'What are symptoms of fibroids?' section to identify common fibroid symptoms. Open the 'What are heavy periods?' section to identify common heavy period symptoms. Open the 'Are there more treatment options for fibroids t...' section to find available treatment options. Open the 'How many women are affected by fibroids?' section to find prevalence statistics. Open the 'Are fibroids hereditary?' section to determine the genetic link. Synthesize all gathered information into a concise answer.
State the common symptoms of fibroids as presented on the page (heavy bleeding, menstrual pain, frequent urination, trouble conceiving). State the common symptoms of heavy periods as presented on the page (changing pads/tampons frequently, passing large blood clots, needing multiple sanitary products, impacting daily activities/missing work). Confirm that there are various treatment options for fibroids, including non-surgical methods (birth control pills, IUD) and minimally invasive surgical methods (laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation, laparoscopic myomectomy, hysteroscopic myomectomy). State that up to 80% of women will have uterine fibroids by age 50. Confirm that while there's no causal link, there is a genetic component, and having a family member with fibroids (e.g., mother) increases the risk. Provide a concise summary of all the requested information.
