What is an Uterine Fibroid?

Uterine Fibroid is a type of overgrowth of harmless tissues in the muscular wall of the uterus. Fibroids are a very common type of hormonal tissue growth that mostly occurs in women who are in their 20s or 30s. Fibroids aren't cancerous in nature, which means, you can be assured that you won't be getting cancer ever from these fibroids.

​Fibroids tend to vary in size, number and they can grow on multiple organs. Fibroids may grow bigger with time, although the rate of growth varies patient to patient. Sometimes, they grow rapidly, while in some patients they remain nearly the same in size. The varied growth rate of fibroids might be caused by disbalance of estrogen and progesterone.

Estrogen plays the role of growing the endometrium during every menstrual cycle.When its level is too high, the uterus may develop fibroids rapidly. Low levels of Progesterone can also be beneficial for its growth because the hormone helps to naturally deter the growth of fibroids. This is why patients with fibroids are often diagnosed with high estrogen but low progesterone.
