    Uterine fibroids are closely related to heredity. The occurrence of uterine fibroids has obvious family heredity. In a family, if the first- and second-degree relatives have a history of gynecological tumors, uterine fibroids tend to occur more frequently than normal people. The risk is increased. Some scholars have followed up the twin sisters in Finland and found that if one of the twin sisters has had uterine fibroids, the other may have a 67% probability of suffering from uterine fibroids.
