Uterine fibroids treatment in Brooklyn, NY

Uterine fibroids develop in the womb and are muscular tumors. They are usually benign, and less than one in 1000 will become cancerous. Having fibroids does not increase your risk of developing another form of cancer in the uterus. Fibroids are usually round, and although they consist of the same smooth muscle as the wall of the uterus, they are much denser. Uterine fibroids may develop singly, or you might have multiple tumors. They can be very small or might grow to become grapefruit sized.

Uterine fibroids generally develop during the 30s, 40s, and through menopause but are most common amongst women in their 40s and early 50s. Genetics is another factor as if your mother or another close female relative had fibroids, your risk is approximately three times higher than average.

Overweight women are at higher risk, especially those who are very heavy. Your ethnicity also makes a difference, as African-American women are more at risk than white women. If you like to eat plenty of red meat and ham, you are more likely to get fibroids compared with a woman who eats lots of green vegetables, which seems to have a protective effect.
