Let's Discuss Fibroids in Black Women - a podcast by Bri Montgomery

In this episode of Yo, This Can't Be Life we sit down with Dr. Tiffany Woodus. We talk about what exactly fibroid uterine tumors are, the different phases of treatment, and removal options we have way before a hysterectomy is even on the table.  We also ponder on why fibroids are more prevalent in African American women, the lack of education given to patients, and why we seemed to be pushed into certain treatment types when there are so many available. 

Tiffany Woodus, MD has over 10 years of experience in healthcare. She completed a Doctor of Medicine degree from The University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in 2006. Subsequently, she completed an internship and residency in Obstetrics & Gynecology from The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW)/Parkland Health & Hospital System in 2010 and is board certified by the American Board of Obstetrics & Gynecology. Dr. Woodus is currently the owner/lead physician at Woodus Obstetrics & Gynecology, a comprehensive women’s healthcare practice opening October 2020 & serving Cedar Hill and the surrounding areas. The practice will provide obstetrical and gynecological services, wellness support, and education to women who are seeking a new and innovative approach to healthcare.
