The Florida House of Representatives has introduced House Resolution HR 8083, which recognizes July 2025 as "Fibroid Awareness Month" in the state. This resolution highlights the significance of uterine fibroids, benign tumors that can lead to severe health issues for women, including heavy menstrual bleeding, debilitating pain, and infertility. Uterine fibroids are the leading cause of hysterectomies, with nearly half of all such surgeries performed to address this condition. The resolution notes that a significant portion of women will experience fibroids in their lifetime, emphasizing the need for increased awareness and understanding of this health issue.

By designating July as Fibroid Awareness Month, the resolution aims to empower Florida residents with knowledge about uterine fibroids, encouraging earlier diagnosis and promoting research for better treatment options. The initiative seeks to foster a broader conversation around the disorder, ultimately contributing to advancements in care and potential cures for those affected. This recognition builds on previous efforts made by the Florida House of Representatives in 2015 to raise awareness about uterine fibroids.
