Obesity
Women with higher body weight are tending to suffer more from uterine fibroids. The studies reveal that obese women are at increased risk of developing uterine fibroids due to the higher levels of estrogens circulating in their system. Almost 51% of the obese women suffer from uterine fibroids as compared to the women with normal body weight. In addition, it is more likely that the obese women suffer from symptomatic uterine fibroids at an early age rather than asymptomatic uterine fibroids due to their increased estrogen levels.
