What makes the fat around the belly when one has big fibroids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fat around the belly: Is not caused by fibroids, if you are referring to "pinching an inch" or a roll of flesh hanging over your waistline. However, large fibroids in a thin person can cause the appearance of a large abdomen, although it is not a typically "fatty" abdomen.
