Uterine fibroids are common in women under the age of 50. Experts say more research is needed to determine how blood pressure medications might influence fibroids. Medications that help control high blood pressure may offer a new strategy for the prevention of uterine fibroids. Research published in the journal JAMA Network Open reports that women in midlife with untreated or new onset hypertension have an increased risk of fibroids while those who are on antihypertensive treatments for blood pressure have a lower risk.
