| FIBROIDS: NOT JUST A YOUNG WOMAN’S PROBLEM
Fibroids are noncancerous growths in the uterine wall that affect up to eight in 10 women by age 50. Women in their 40s or early 50s whose fibroids cause only mild problems may be told to be patient since fibroids rely on estrogen to thrive. Once the decrease of estrogen from reaching menopause occurs, the fibroids typically get better according to Dr. Elisa Jorgensen from Massachusetts General Hospital.
About one-third of newly diagnosed fibroids occur in women in their mid-to-late 40s. recent findings suggest that even after menopause small fibroids can continue to grow. Fibroids, while their cause is unknown, tend to run in families. Fibroids grow faster and larger in those overweight.
(Did You Know? Uterine fibroids are also known as leiomyomas.)
Signs of fibroids may include heavy bleeding, pelvic or lower back pain, bloating, frequent urination, or painful sex. With hormone blocking treatment or menopause, bleeding may go away but the size or location physically may continue to push against the bladder or other local anatomy requiring attention.
Myomectomy and hysterectomy are the two surgical treatments.

Defrost one bag of frozen pearl onions. Add 1 lb. small carrots (I used rainbow) stems trimmed and halved lengthwise to boiling water and cook 5-7 minutes until tender. Remove and place in an ice bath to stop cooking. Once cool dry. Melt 3 Tbsp. butter in a skillet over low heat and whisk often until it smells nutty, about 3-5 minutes. Whisk in 3 Tbsp. honey, 2 Tbsp. white wine vinegar, ½ tsp. salt and ¼ tsp. pepper. Add carrots and onions. Cook over medium heat until carrots are crisp and sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Transfer and sprinkle 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh tarragon. |
