What are the risk factors for uterine fibroids?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fibroid: Uterine fibroids are muscular tumors that originate from the uterus. They rarely turn into cancer. No one really know what causes them, however, genetics and hormones may make one more likely to get them. Estrogen and progesterone also seem to affect the growth of fibroid.
