Will lack of sex cause fibroids?

No: There is no relation to the development of fibroids and someone's sex life. There is a strong genetic component to the risk of developing fibroids.

Fortunately NO: Fibroids are benign uterine growths that are simulated by estrogen which sex or lack of it has no effect.
