I recently was diagnosed with fibroids and experience heavy bleeding during my periods. I’ve been under of a lot of mental and emotional stress about it and on the heavy days, I find that I’m not able to focus at work due to worrying about my situation. Should I disclose my health condition to my boss for awareness, in case she notices I’m not myself on those days / or if it starts to impact my work quality?

I would just say you’re experiencing some health issues so may be going to more doctor appointments and have more anxiety around these issues. Hope you feel better soon, OP!

Sorry you are dealing with this. I understand what you're going through. I have been dealing with Fibroids and adenomyosis for years now. I would not give too much details about it to your boss like EY1 suggested. Only share the necessary details with HR and whoever's needs to assist you with any relevant paperwork. Hope you find a solution that is suitable for you and can help with the pain and anxiety you are experiencing.

Really sorry to hear this. I had this exact same issue and got a really good resolution with an amazing surgeon. Happy to share if you are interested in options.

I also agree with the poster above. If you are comfortable you can share you have some health challenges but it’s really up to you and what you are comfortable with disclosing.
