FACTS YOU CAN’T IGNORE ABOUT FIBROID. . .

SYMPTOMS OF FIBROIDS: these can be mild or severe

There are factors that can increase a woman's risk of developing fibroids.
Age. Fibroids become more common as women age, especially during the 30s and 40s through menopause. After menopause, fibroids usually shrink.
· Family history. Having a family member with fibroids increases your risk. If a woman's mother had fibroids, her risk of having them is about three times higher than average.

· Ethnic origin. African-American women are more likely to develop fibroids than white women.
· Obesity. Women who are overweight are at higher risk for fibroids. For very heavy women, the risk is two to three times greater than average.
· Eating habits. Eating a lot of red meat (e.g., beef) and ham is linked with a higher risk of fibroids. Eating plenty of green vegetables seems to protect women from developing fibroids
