摘要

Uterine fibroids (leiomyomata uteri) are the most common benign (non-cancerous) tumors that are present in the muscular wall of the uterus of women over 30 years of age and are more common in African American women. According to current textbooks of medicine, it is estimated that leiomyomas are present in 20-25 percent of reproductive age women but are 3 - 9 times more frequent in black than in white women (3). However, a recently completed epidemiological study of uterine fibroids by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) (4) found that by age 50 the cumulative incidence of uterine fibroids was over 80 percent for African American women and about 70 percent for white women. These numbers are much higher than reported from medical records. The differences suggest that while many women have fibroids, not all have clinically symptomatic fibroids and seek medical care. Data suggests that large fibroids cause more symptoms than small fibroids, leading scientists to question what causes fibroids to grow and become clinically symptomatic.
