Dr. McLucas:
Again, since we don’t know why people get fibroids period, we can’t say why one group would be more likely to get fibroids. However, we think there’s a tendency in black women to keloid, which is to have a scar tissue that would form, that would be a little bit more than in other races. That could cause growth of fibroids because fibroids are really a muscular sort of scar type of growth within the wall of the uterus. So that’s probably at least part of the puzzle.
