Fibroids are usually benign and not cancerous. If you have concerns or symptoms, consult a gynaecologist or laparoscopic specialist for a personalized assessment and appropriate treatment options.
Environmental factors and exposure to certain chemicals may influence fibroid development, though more research is needed to confirm these links.
Conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes are associated with a higher risk of fibroids. Managing these conditions effectively can help reduce risk.
Diets high in red meat and low in fruits and vegetables may increase the risk of fibroids. A balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables might help lower this risk.
Obesity is linked to higher oestrogen levels, which can stimulate fibroid growth. Maintaining a healthy weight can help reduce this risk.
Uterine fibroids are most frequently diagnosed in women between the ages of 30 and 40. Understanding the causes of fibroid in the womb helps explain why they often shrink or become less problematic as women approach menopause.
Yes, if fibroids are common in your family, you may have a higher risk due to genetic factors that contribute to their development.
Oestrogen and progesterone can fuel the growth of uterine fibroids, making them more prominent during reproductive years and potentially shrinking them after menopause.
The exact causes of fibroid in the womb aren’t fully understood, but hormones, genetics, and age are significant factors. Hormonal imbalances, especially with oestrogen and progesterone, play a key role.
