Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous tumors found on the women's womb. On an average, a woman is likely to develop fibroids once in her lifetime. According to a research, before the age of 50, over 70% of whites and over 80% of African American are likely to develop the disease.
What causes fibroids still remains a mystery to medical research and studies. Because they normally form within the uterine walls, they are medically referred to as "uterine fibroid.”
Although some women show symptoms of menstrual pain and discharge, others may experience no symptoms. Because most women with fibroids are unaware of it, it's always important to regularly check in order to prevent its development.
However, recent studies suggested that it can be caused by:
- Generic factors
- Hormonal make-up of the body
