Can unmarried women also get uterine fibroids?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Unmarried women can also get uterine fibroids. Young women think that if they don't have sex, they won't get gynecological diseases. Actually, that's not the case. Girls without sex life can also get uterine fibroids. Because hormone-containing foods are in the diet now, many unethical businesses use estrogen and other hormones to feed fish and other animals, and when people eat them, it increases estrogen levels in the body. Also, changes in women's menstrual cycles, such as early menarche, can contribute to this. These factors make it easy for young women to get uterine fibroids.
