About the event

Join us as David Ogutu, Medical Director and Consultant Gynaecologist, explains what fibroids are, why they develop, and how they can impact the uterus, menstrual cycles, and conception.

Together, we’ll explore the different types of fibroids, common symptoms such as heavy bleeding and pelvic pain, and the range of diagnostic tools available. We’ll also discuss current treatment options from medication and minimally invasive procedures to surgery and how these choices may influence future fertility.

Whether you’ve been diagnosed with fibroids, are experiencing symptoms, or simply want to understand your reproductive health more deeply, this session offers clear, evidence-based insight, practical advice, and the opportunity to ask questions in a supportive, expert-led setting.
