Can You Prevent These Growths From Happening?
Sadly, there is no way to prevent fibroids from developing because there is no main cause of why they develop. However, there are some biological factors that can put you at risk.
They can be hereditary. If your mother or sister had a history of fibroids, then you’re at a higher risk of developing fibroids.
They can also develop due to race. Black women are at a higher risk of developing fibroids and suffering from severe symptoms compared to other races.
Your hormones are also a reason why these growths have formed on or around your uterus because estrogen and progesterone promote fibroid growth.
Though you may not be able to prevent them from growing, it’s great that they have the possibility to not affect you if they do develop even with symptoms. In the circumstance that your symptoms become too much, then schedule an appointment with a specialist so you can learn about the next steps to the removal of the fibroid(s).
Sometimes the body can do things we don’t want it to do so it’s important to know your options and be prepared.
