About this study
The purpose of this study is:
- To assess how women who have undergone treatment for UF view the experience, whether they prioritize experimental approaches to remedy any impacts on their fertility, and the psychosocial and socio-economic factors most important to them in considering the preservation or restoration of fertility.
- To assess the potential perceptions or experiences of women of African descent compared with women of other ethnic backgrounds of disparities in the symptoms and how treatment options for UF may impact willingness or ability to pursue approaches to fertility maintenance and restoration.
