When it comes to our reproductive health, hindsight is often 20/20.
Black women are three times more likely to experience fibroids than white women. Can you speak to that a little bit? Racial disparities really do exist. By age 50, nearly two-thirds of women have experienced some sort of fibroids. Nearly a quarter of Black women between 18 and 30 have fibroids compared to only about 6% of white women. And by age 35, that number increases to 60%. Black women also tend to usually have larger fibroids and may have more symptomatology and also complications related to that.
