As the most common type of non-cancerous tumors in women of reproductive age, uterine fibroids can cause physical symptoms, including heavy menstrual bleeding. Additionally, uterine fibroids can take a significant toll on quality of life, relationships and intimacy, employment, and create an overall reduced quality of well-being in a patient’s health.   Dr. Veronica Gillispie-Bell, Senior Site Lead and Section Head of Obstetrics and Gynecology  at Ochsner Kenner in New Orleans discusses heavy menstrual bleeding as a symptom of uterine fibroids, options in the treatment landscape, including ORIAHNN™, the first, non-surgical, oral medication developed specifically to treat heavy menstrual bleeding associated with uterine fibroids in premenopausal patients.   She also shares how HCPs can open a dialogue with patients about their individual symptoms, lifestyle and treatment goals, and to address their concerns sooner rather than later. #UterineFibroids #ORIAHNN Veronica Gillispie-Bell, MD
