fr NIH: dairy products 1x/ day were less likely to develop fibroids than women who consumed dairy less frequently. 2/2 #FibroidsChat https://t.co/mhy288JTMU

@TheLakeFound @DrSydneyjd @FibroidsProject @drcrystalamoore @NearerNature I have read that soy and dairy should be avoided

@thelakefound This was an awesome #fibroidschat we look forward to future ones https://t.co/QUWuy6euH5

[Lake Health and Wellbeing @lakehealthwell]

Thank you so much to our expert guests @DrSydneyjd and @FibroidsProject. We really appreciate your participation #fibroidschat

[The Fibroids Project @FibroidsProject]

@TheLakeFound We don’t have a firm grasp as to why this is. Some research points to genetics. #fibroidschat https://t.co/KMLahWj0bG

[Lake Health and Wellbeing @lakehealthwell]

@FibroidsProject Fibroids are more common in black women? Why is this? #FibroidsChat

[The Fibroids Project @FibroidsProject]

@fibroidforum Dr. Ebbie Stewart at the mayo clinic has done some fascinating research. There is also info on NIH website.

[The Fibroids Project @FibroidsProject]

@fibroidforum fascinating, right? #fibroidschat

[The Fibroids Project @FibroidsProject]

@TheLakeFound NIH studies have contributed to the idea that susceptibility to fibroids is passed on to a woman by her father. #fibroidschat https://t.co/xYnyxU2Xo1

[Lake Health and Wellbeing @lakehealthwell]

We might not know the cause, do you know factors increase a women'r risk of developing #fibroids? @FibroidsProject @DrSydneyjd #fibroidschat

[The Fibroids Project @FibroidsProject]

@TheLakeFound the NIH has supported research into genetic factors that influence the development of fibroids. 1/2 #fibroidschat https://t.co/xYnyxU2Xo1

We might not know the cause, do you know factors increase a women'r risk of developing #fibroids? @FibroidsProject @DrSydneyjd #fibroidschat

[The Fibroids Project @FibroidsProject]

@TheLakeFound yes, it's unfortunate but a lot of research is being done to try to find the cause #fibroidschat https://t.co/jrHNCbeGTB

[Lake Health and Wellbeing @lakehealthwell]

@FibroidsProject Thank you. It's a shame the cause isn't known as it does make prevention a bit difficult. #fibroidschat

[The Fibroids Project @FibroidsProject]

@TheLakeFound we are not physicians and lean on research from the NIH and physicians for the responses 1/2. #fibroidschat https://t.co/GzV3MjQger

[Lake Health and Wellbeing @lakehealthwell]

Ok, it looks like we don't have any questions. So let move to the next question. @fibroidsproject What causes fibroids? #fibroidschat

[The Fibroids Project @FibroidsProject]

@thelakefound Nobody knows the exact cause of fibroids. Research is still being done to find out the causes. #fibroidschat https://t.co/GzV3MjQger

[Lake Health and Wellbeing @lakehealthwell]

Ok, it looks like we don't have any questions. So let move to the next question. @fibroidsproject What causes fibroids? #fibroidschat

[Lake Health and Wellbeing @lakehealthwell]

We also have @DrSydneyjd from Fighting #Fibroids. Please tell us a bit about who you are and what you do. #FibroidsChat

[The Fibroids Project @FibroidsProject]

@drcrystalamoore these visuals are so helpful! #fibroidschat https://t.co/bHff2fkNER

[Lake Health and Wellbeing @lakehealthwell]

Thanks for sharing! Interesting to see what it actually looks like! #fibroidschat https://t.co/B9hOw2N7TU

[Dr. Sydney Dillard @DrSydneyjd]

@TheLakeFound Sure. Fibroids are generally separated into 4 types: Intramural, submucosal, subserosal, and pedunculated #fibroidschat 1/2

[The Fibroids Project @FibroidsProject]

@TheLakeFound Fibroids are non-cancerous tumors that grow within the uterus & can cause infertility, miscarriage, etc. #fibroidschat https://t.co/LxHJTgDEbe

[Lake Health and Wellbeing @lakehealthwell]

So... let's start at the beginning. @FibroidsProject can you tell us what exactly are fibroids? #FibroidsChat

[Crystal Moore MD/PhD @drcrystalamoore]

Happy to join the #fibroidschat.
Let's get and give a #RxForLife

[Lake Health and Wellbeing @lakehealthwell]

@FibroidsProject wonderful. It's so great to hear of the work you're doing #fibroidschat

[The Fibroids Project @FibroidsProject]

I co-founded @fibroidsproject to give a 360 degree view of fibroids, informing women of their options to become fibroid-free. #FibroidsChat https://t.co/OaHSs0iDet
