Uterine fibroids (aka leiomyomas or myomas) are tumors that grow in or around the uterus.
The good news: They’re noncancerous. The bad news: They can cause a slew of painful and potentially dangerous symptoms. And despite having the same equipment as other uterus owners, Black women are up to three times more likely to have uterine fibroids.
Research shows uterine fibroids are more common in Black women, and Black women also tend to show symptoms at a younger age.
TBH, we still don’t exactly know why. But studies suggest certain genetic and environmental factors increase a Black woman’s risk of developing fibroids.
Here are the facts on fibroids, how Black women are more affected, and what treatment options are available.
About 4 in 5 Black women in the United States are overweight or have obesity, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health.
Women with a higher body mass index (BMI) tend to have higher estrogen levels than folks who have a lower BMI. This extra estrogen may lead to fibroid growth.
Having less access to nutritious foods could also be a major factor in higher body weight and fibroids. Studies have found that Black women often eat fewer fruits and veggies and take fewer vitamin and mineral supplements that might help protect against fibroids.
Folks with darker skin tones are more likely to have a vitamin D deficiency thanks to melanin. This natural skin pigment protects you from ultraviolet (UV) radiation. But it also makes it harder for your body to create vitamin D from the sun, especially in a cloud-covered climate.
Vitamin D may prevent uterine fibroid growth, so having low levels of this vital nutrient could increase your risk.
Research suggests there’s a link between fibroids and certain hair care products. Hair relaxers, which are used by millions in the Black community, can expose you to hormonally active compounds that could contribute to fibroid growth.
Fibroids can affect everyone differently, but Black women are often more likely to experience severe pain and invasive surgery.
Black women tend to have more severe fibroid symptoms than non-Black women.
Symptoms can include:
Black women are also more likely to develop anemia due to the heavy bleeding.
Even though Black women need fibroid treatment more often than other women, they often face more difficulty getting the right medical care.
A 2016 study shows that Black women are less satisfied with their fibroid treatments and face more financial obstacles compared with Asian, Hispanic, and white women.
Some research also suggests Black women in the United States often aren’t aware of fibroids, as a result of a lack of resources like internet access and education. This may make these women less able to advocate for treatment.
Research shows about 49 percent of hysterectomies are performed to relieve abnormal bleeding and fibroids.
This surgery that removes the uterus is typically done only in severe fibroid cases. But Black women with fibroids are 2.4 times more likely to have a hysterectomy than white women.
What gives? We don’t know for sure, but it might be because more Black women don’t get a correct diagnosis until their fibroids are severe. It could also be because Black women are disproportionately affected by fibroids.
Studies suggest that up to 35 percent of women have heavy menstrual bleeding, and Black women experience heavy periods more often than non-Black women. A 2014 study suggests higher rates of uterine fibroids in Black women might be to blame.
Reminder: Periods should last about 7 days max. Talk with your doc ASAP if you’re experiencing prolonged or heavy bleeding for more than a week.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), uterine cancer rates are higher in Black women.
There might be a link between these rates and fibroids. Research shows that Black women with fibroids are 40 percent more likely to get endometrial cancer.
A physical exam (in which your gyno presses their hand into your abdomen) may not confirm your fibroids. If that’s the case, ask for testing that will really show what’s going on in your uterus.
Medical professionals use these common tests to diagnosis uterine fibroids:
In a perfect world, every doctor would run every possible test to determine a diagnosis. But we often have to be our own health advocates.
Your pain and experiences are absolutely valid, so don’t dismiss your symptoms.
If you feel your doctor isn’t listening to your concerns or won’t look into your symptoms, it’s time to find a new doc.
There’s no one-size-fits-all fibroid cure. Treatment depends on your symptoms and other health factors.
Medications to regulate your hormone levels may help shrink fibroids. Your doc may suggest a birth control pill or injection or a hormonal intrauterine device (IUD).
Over-the-counter pain relievers and anti-inflammatory meds can help you manage the discomfort, but they won’t stop new fibroids or shrink existing ones.
In May 2020, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a medication called Oriahnn to treat heavy menstrual bleeding caused by fibroids.
Two clinical trials including 591 premenopausal women found that Oriahnn reduced period blood loss by half in 77 percent of participants.
In severe fibroid cases, your doc may suggest a hysterectomy. This is a major surgery in which your uterus is completely removed, which means you’ll no longer be able to get pregnant.
A hysterectomy is really a last-resort treatment for fibroids, and you should discuss other options with your doc first. Other surgeries can remove fibroids without completely ruining your chances of conception.
During a myomectomy, fibroids are surgically removed and the uterus is reconstructed. This surgery gives you a better chance of getting pregnant because you’ll still have your uterus.
But a myomectomy may still affect your fertility if your fibroids are really severe. A 2018 study found that women who had more than six fibroids removed were less likely to get pregnant and needed more fertility treatments.
There are lots of noninvasive or minimally invasive procedures that can help too:
Some folks find fibroid symptom relief with natural remedies. But keep in mind: There’s little to no research to show that these treatments can cure fibroids. They might just ease your symptoms in the short term.
Alternative treatments include:
Def let your doctor know before you opt for any of these remedies.
Uterine fibroids occur in up to 70 percent of women but are most common in Black women. Black women are also more likely to experience severe symptoms and have symptoms at an earlier age.
Early intervention is super important when it comes to treatment. Let your doc know pronto if you have long, heavy, or painful periods. Also push for additional testing if a physical exam can’t determine the cause of your pain.
And remember, you’re not alone ❤️. There are lots of amazing organizations that offer support and information to Black women with fibroids, including:

BlackRock's (BLK) bitcoin BTC$110,848.82 exchange-traded product (ETP) started trading on the London Stock Exchange on Monday, the asset manager’s first such product in the U.K., after the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) lifted its ban on certain bitcoin-based ETPs.
The iShares Bitcoin ETP, trading on the London Stock Exchange under the ticker IB1T, allows retail investors to buy exposure to bitcoin through a regulated market without needing to hold the cryptocurrency directly.
The product is already available elsewhere in Europe, having been listed on Xetra, Euronext Amsterdam and Euronext Paris in late March according to the BlackRock’s page for the product.
Switzerland-based 21Shares also debuted four of its flagship crypto ETNs for U.K. retail investors for the first time. These include its bitcoin (ABTC) and ether (AETH) staking products, as well as two lower-fee "Core” offerings, CBTC and ETHC, with management fees of 0.10%.
“Today’s launch represents a landmark step for the U.K. market and for everyday investors who, for years, have been excluded from regulated crypto products,” 21Shares CEO Russel Barlow said in an emailed press release. Ending the ban “begins to level the playing field with Europe.”
BlackRock, which manages over $13 trillion in assets globally, has seen strong growth in its crypto-focused products. Its flagship bitcoin ETF, the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), has $85.5 billion in net assets according to SoSoValue data. This makes it the largest spot bitcoin ETF, followed by Fidelity’s FBTC, which has $21.9 billion in net assets.
The IB1T ETP has seen a trading volume of 1,000 shares in the first hour of trading on the London Stock Exchange.

Corporate Bitcoin giant Strategy may be preparing for another major Bitcoin purchase, according to recent remarks from Executive Chairman Michael Saylor. He stated that the company has the capacity to convert up to $100 million of raised capital into Bitcoin within just one hour. This quick turnaround time sets Strategy apart from traditional sectors that take much longer to deploy capital and deliver returns.
Michael Saylor explained in a podcast interview that Strategy’s investment process operates faster than many conventional industries. According to him, the company can raise capital and complete large Bitcoin purchases within the same hour. He noted, “We could do a billion dollars of capital raising in a day and… be fully done [buying Bitcoin] by 6 pm.”
Saylor also mentioned that the company can execute trades of $50 to $100 million per hour, which means Strategy can scale purchases without long delays. The process uses a real-time model that allows for fast capital conversion, which is unlike traditional investments in real estate, oil, or technology that often require months or even years.
On October 13, Strategy’s holdings reached 640,250 BTC, which is around 2.5% of Bitcoin’s total supply. This makes Strategy the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin globally. Saylor shared a comment on social media on Sunday suggesting that another purchase may be coming soon, although he did not provide a specific figure.
Despite Bitcoin trading lower than last week, it remains much higher year-to-date. As of October 20, Bitcoin is trading above $110,000, according to CoinMarketCap. Historically, Strategy’s large purchases have caused short-term upward movement in Bitcoin’s price. Market observers often track the company’s activity as a signal of growing institutional interest in the asset.
Saylor contrasted Bitcoin investment with other sectors by emphasizing how Strategy operates daily with fast liquidity options. “We’re open for business every day with four credit ATMs,” he said. He added that if a buyer wants to acquire hundreds of millions in assets, the transaction can be completed in under a minute.
He also explained how this model allows the firm to build “in real time,” unlike real estate where the asset must be developed before any returns. The process includes selling convertible debt or equity and using the proceeds to buy Bitcoin within hours, creating both the collateral and the return nearly immediately.
Strategy’s aggressive Bitcoin strategy has not gone unnoticed. Critics have raised concerns about shareholder dilution and overexposure to cryptocurrency volatility. However, Saylor dismissed the concerns, saying that some investors misunderstand how the business model works.
“The equity investors value the company based on BTC yield and appreciation per share,” Saylor said. He also stated that credit investors look at returns based on dollar yield, and the firm swaps traditional currency returns for Bitcoin-based returns using Bitcoin as the collateral.
Saylor said critics are being “strategically ignorant,” choosing not to understand the business model. Since Strategy began buying Bitcoin in October 2020 with an initial 20,000 BTC purchase, it has continued to expand its holdings, often buying during periods of price weakness.

Analysts caution the rally’s fragility, noting that geopolitical tensions can amplify funding stress and trigger liquidations in leveraged positions.
