Clinical studies have shown that poor lifestyle choices can lead to uterine fibroid development at an earlier age. You can be at risk for uterine fibroid growth if you consume too many processed foods, white sugar, and red meat. Drinking too much alcohol or not exercising enough can trigger uterine fibroid formation. These lifestyle factors alter the levels of estrogen in the body, which directly affects fibroid development.
