Yes, a 20-year-old can have fibroids.
Fibroids, also known as uterine fibroids, are noncancerous growths that develop in the uterus. While they are most often diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 40, they can occur at any age after menstruation begins.
According to research, approximately 80% of people born with a uterus will develop fibroids. Therefore, it is entirely possible for someone in their early twenties to have fibroids, even though the peak diagnosis period is slightly later. Not everyone with fibroids experiences symptoms.
