While many women may develop uterine fibroids, there are several factors that can put you at a higher risk. These include:
👉 Age (most common in women of 30 – 40 years old)
👉 Family history of fibroids
👉 Race (being of African descent)
👉 A diet high in red meat
👉 Vitamin D deficiency
👉 Obesity
👉 No history of pregnancy
👉 Early onset menstruation
If any of the above factors apply to you, it might be time to visit your gynae for a check-up 🙏
