What Causes Fibroids in the Uterus
Almost 75 percent of women will have one or more benign uterine growths called fibroids during their reproductive lifetime, according to MayoClinic.com. The size of these non-cancerous growths can vary from the size of a seed to tumors that fill the entire uterus and pelvic cavity. Women with small fibroids may have no symptoms and not realize they have fibroids. Large fibroids can cause irregular heavy menstrual bleeding, problems with urination, constipation, backache and pelvic pressure with pain.
