Venus Williams shares her personal journey with fibroids—opening up about the symptoms she didn’t recognize, the years of uncertainty, and how she ultimately learned to advocate for her own health.

In this episode of Health Starts With Her, Venus sits down with Dr. Tara Shirazian to talk about the real experience of living with fibroids—from heavy, uncontrollable bleeding and pain to the frustration of not having clear answers.

She reflects on how long it took to understand what was happening in her body—and why so many women are told their symptoms are “normal” when they’re not.

This conversation is about more than fibroids. It’s about awareness, education, and the power of self-advocacy in women’s health. In this episode, we cover:

• What are early signs and symptoms of fibroids

• What heavy bleeding and pain can actually mean

• Why so many women go undiagnosed for years

• The importance of understanding your body

• How to advocate for yourself in the healthcare system

If you’ve ever wondered whether your symptoms are normal or felt dismissed when seeking care, then this conversation is for you. Watch the full episode to learn more about fibroids, their symptoms, and the treatment options available to women today.
