Uterine Fibroids Among Caribbean and African Women in the UK: A Rapid Scoping Review

2025-04-16

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Uterine fibroids (leiomyomas) are common benign tumours affecting women in the UK, with women of African and Caribbean descent reporting a higher prevalence, early onset, and greater symptom severity compared to other ethnic groups. Despite this known disparity, there is a paucity of specific evidence regarding the prevalence, risk factors, management, and outcomes for this population within th...
