Uterine fibroids

Uterine fibroids may be less common in Latina women than previously estimated

Uterine fibroids appear less common in Latina women than previously thought, based on a large study using ultrasound to confirm cases. This finding challenges earlier estimates and matters because it could change how doctors screen for and treat fibroids in this population. Accurate prevalence rates help doctors provide better care and help women understand their true risk.
