Rising Fibroids in Young Indian Women: Causes Explored

Fibroids, non-cancerous growths in the uterus, are becoming more common in young Indian women.

This increase may be linked to hormonal imbalances like estrogen dominance.

Early puberty and exposure to hormone-mimicking chemicals in plastics and processed foods can also play a role.

Obesity, stress, and diet also contribute to fibroid development.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding can be protective.

Preventative measures include maintaining a healthy weight, eating fruits and vegetables, managing stress, and exercising.
