Conditions
Summary
Uterine fibroids are a common condition that can cause heavy and/or painful menstrual bleeding. There are many treatment options, but they vary in efficacy, side effects, short-term recovery and long-term implications for future fertility. Patients can have difficulty deciding between these options. In this study, the investigators will randomly assign patients seeking treatment for fibroids to receive an educational video on fibroids and their treatment, versus usual care (no video). The investigators will assess their decisional conflict with and without exposure to the video using a validated survey to see if exposure to the educational video helps them make decisions.
