Why do I have them? No one knows. Fibroids affect 40% of women - TopicsExpress



          

Why do I have them? No one knows. Fibroids affect 40% of women over 35 years in America and have a higher incidence among African Americans. There is a link between uterine fibroid tumors and estrogen production. Fibroids can grow very large during pregnancy, when estrogen levels are high, and can shrink back down after pregnancy. They sometimes improve in menopause, when estrogen levels decrease.
