Which women are more likely to suffer from uterine fibroids?

Generally, women aged 30-50, who sit for a long time, have a family history, are obese, or are infertile are prone to uterine fibroids.

1. Women aged 30-50:

The hormone levels of women in this age group are at their peak, and changes in hormone levels are one of the important factors that cause uterine fibroids.

2. Sitting for a long time:

Sitting for long periods of time can lead to poor blood circulation in the pelvis and increase the risk of uterine fibroids.

3. Family history:

Women with a history of uterine fibroids are at increased risk of developing uterine fibroids.

4. Obesity

Obese women have a higher risk of uterine fibroids, which may be related to endocrine disorders and changes in hormone levels caused by obesity.

5. Infertility:

Women who are infertile or have had fewer children are at higher risk of developing uterine fibroids. This may be because hormonal changes during pregnancy have a role in suppressing the growth of uterine fibroids.

Patients are advised to seek medical attention promptly if they feel unwell. At the same time, they should maintain a healthy lifestyle, such as healthy diet and moderate exercise.
