What Are Fibroids?
Fibroids (uterine fibroids) are non-cancerous growths that develop in the uterus (womb).
In simple words:
They are small or large lumps in or around the uterus, and they are not cancer.
- Very common in women
- Many women may not even know they have them
Where Do Fibroids Grow?
Fibroids can develop in different areas:
- Inside the uterus
- In the wall of the uterus
- Outside the uterus
They can be very small (like a seed) or large (like a ball).
Causes of Fibroids
The exact cause is not always clear, but common factors include:
- Hormonal imbalance (especially estrogen)
- Family history (genetics)
- Age (usually 25–45 years)
- Obesity or weight gain
- Late pregnancy or no pregnancy
Simply: Hormones and genetics play a major role.
