Obesity
The uterine fibroids are more common in women with higher weight. Studies reveal that women with obesity are more likely to develop uterine fibroids because of the higher estrogen levels in their body. Nearly 51% of obese women have uterine fibroid compared to women with normal weight. A higher level of estrogen in obese women makes it more likely for them to develop symptomatic fibroids earlier than women with normal body weight.
