(Mayo Clinic) Uterine fibroids cause significant fear and morbidity and can compromise workplace performance, according to a recently published survey of nearly 1,000 women in the US. The results were published this month in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology and the Journal of Women's Health.
