What causes fibroids in uterus?
Although the causes of fibroid growth are not clearly understood, it is suspected that each fibroid growth originates from a rogue muscle cell in the uterus. This rogue muscle cell then multiplies very quickly with the help of estrogen. Pre-menopausal women are at the highest risk of developing fibroids due to their long term exposure to estrogen, however, it is also known that this risk is halved in women who have at least given birth to two live born infants. www.drranibhat.com
