- Venus Williams, a seven-time tennis Grand Slam champion, revealed in a July 3, 2025 interview that she underwent a successful myomectomy in July 2024 to treat fibroids.
- Williams endured heavy bleeding, intense cramps, and anemia starting in adolescence but her doctors often dismissed symptoms as normal aging without explaining fibroids.
- After seeing a social media post saying "you don't have to live like this," Williams researched fibroids and sought expert care from Dr. Taraneh Shirazian at NYU Langone's Center for Fibroid Care.
- Dr. Shirazian, who first informed Williams of her condition and recommended a uterus-sparing myomectomy, removed fibroids and adenomyosis while preserving her uterus, improving Williams' quality of life.
- Williams now shares her experience to raise awareness of fibroids affecting up to 80% of Black women before age 50 and hopes her story encourages others to seek proper care.
