About Uterine Fibroids Uterine fibroids are the most common tumors in women. As many as forty percent of women age 35 and older have fibroids.
Fibroid tumors affect women of all ages and races.
They do occur in a higher rate among African- American women. These benign growths which develop in the uterus can vary in size from a pea to larger than a cantaloupe. Depending on their position, fibroids can cause heavy vaginal bleeding, pregnancy loss, pain or pressure.
