The Florida House of Representatives has introduced House Resolution HR 8083, which designates July 2025 as "Fibroid Awareness Month" in the state. This resolution aims to raise awareness about uterine fibroids, benign tumors that can lead to significant health issues for women, including heavy menstrual bleeding, debilitating pain, and infertility. Uterine fibroids are the most common reason for hysterectomies, with nearly half of all such surgeries performed to address this condition. The resolution highlights the prevalence of fibroids, noting that up to 80% of women may be affected by age 50.

By recognizing July as Fibroid Awareness Month, the resolution seeks to empower and inform Floridians about uterine fibroids, promoting earlier diagnosis, increased research, and improved treatment options. The initiative is intended to foster a broader conversation about the disorder, ultimately aiming for advancements that could lead to a cure. This recognition builds on the Florida House's previous designation of July as Fibroid Awareness Month in 2015, reinforcing the importance of public awareness in addressing this health issue.
