New Report Reveals These Common Products May Cause Uterine Fibroids
Approximately 80% of reproductive-aged women develop uterine fibroids —non-cancerous tumors that grow in the uterus — yet it’s often unclear what causes them. Scientists have long suspected that genetics play a role, as do hormones, diet and major life stressors. New research from scientists at Northwestern University suggests that chemicals we’re exposed to in everyday […]

Tranexamic Acid Eased Blood Loss During Myomectomy
Among women with large uterine fibroids, the use of tranexamic acid (TXA) reduced blood loss during myomectomies, according to a retrospective cohort study. Patients who underwent a myomectomy to remove uterine fibroids with a total weight greater than 173 g had lower estimated blood loss after receiving TXA compared with those who did not (205.6 […]
