Frequently Asked Questions
What causes fibroids?
There is no one concrete reason for fibroids to occur. Research suggests that more than one factor could play a role. These factors could be:
- Hormonal (affected by estrogen and progesterone levels)
- Genetic (runs in family)
Where can fibroids grow?
Most fibroids grow in the wall of the uterus. Based on their location they are classified as:
- Submucosal – fibroids that grow into the uterine cavity
- Intramural – fibroids that grow within the wall of the uterus
- Subserosal – fibroids that grow on the outside of the uterus
Can fibroids burst?
While uterine fibroids are common, a ruptured fibroid is rare. However, a ruptured fibroid is a very serious medical condition that requires emergency care.
