Women's Health Women's Health Topics A-Z Sexual Health Healthy Living From Tracee Cornforth, your Guide to Women's Health 10 Things To Know About Uterine Fibroid Tumors About 80% of women are believed to have benign uterine fibroid tumors. Because fibroids are estrogen dependent, they often shrink when menopause arrives. Fibroids 101 Uterine fibroid tumors are almost always benign. These benign (non-cancerous) tumors are found in most cases, in the uterus of women in their 30's and 40's. Abnormal Uterine Bleeding Most women experience abnormal uterine bleeding at least once during their reproductive years. The most common times that women experience heavy menstrual periods are during the first few years of menstruation during adolescence and during the final two to three years of menstruating before menopause. Top 10 Causes Of Heavy Menstrual Bleeding How do you know when bleeding during your period is abnormally heavy? The easiest way to know if you are experiencing menorrhagia is to take note of how often you need to change your pad or tampon. If your period is heavy enough to require changing more often than every one or two hours, or if you have a period that lasts more than a full week, you may be experiencing menorrhagia.
