Woman's Doctor: Who's at risk for uterine fibroids?

Uterine fibroids are estrogen-dependent, non-cancerous tumors, but they can cause severe pain. Certain factors can elevate your risk for fibroids. Dr. Latasha Murphy of Mercy Medical Center said fibroids are genetic, but certain lifestyle habits can be a trigger. "There are a couple of things that can increase a woman's estrogen level. That would be being overweight (or) potentially things that are in the diet such as high soy content or red meat content. Things like that can cause the fibroids to be worse. If you can prevent those, or at least minimize what you intake in terms of elevating your estrogen level, those things would be helpful," Murphy said.
