Uterine fibroids are benign tumors that originate in the uterus (womb). Although they are composed of the same smooth muscle fibers as the uterine wall (myometrium), they are much denser than normal myometrium. Uterine fibroids are usually round. In most cases, fibroids do not cause pain or other symptoms. However, exceptionally large fibroids may cause pressure on the bladder or other organs, leading to specific symptoms .
Uterine fibroids are often described based upon their location within the uterus.
Symptoms of uterine fibroids
However, abnormal uterine bleeding is the most common symptom of a fibroid. If the tumors are near the uterine lining, or interfere with the blood flow to the lining, they can cause heavy periods, painful periods, prolonged periods or spotting between menses. Women with excessive bleeding due to fibroids may develop iron deficiency anemia. Uterine fibroids that are degenerating can sometimes cause severe, localized pain.
Fibroids can also cause a number of symptoms depending on their size, location within the uterus, and how close they are to adjacent pelvic organs.
Large fibroids can cause:
While fibroids do not interfere with ovulation, some studies suggest that they may impair fertility and lead to poorer pregnancy out comes. In particular, submucosal fibroids that deform the inner uterine cavity are most strongly associated with decreases in fertility. Occasionally, fibroids are the cause of recurrent miscarriages. If they are not cured in these cases, the woman may not be able to sustain a pregnancy.
causes of uterine fibroids
- We do not know exactly why women develop these tumors. Genetic abnormalities, alterations in growth factor (proteins formed in the body that direct the rate and extent of cell proliferation) expression, abnormalities in the vascular (blood vessel) system, and tissue response to injury have all been suggested to play a role in the development of fibroids.
- Family history is a key factor, since there is often a history of fibroids developing in women of the same family.
- Race also appears to play a role. Women of African descent are two to three times more likely to develop fibroids than women of other races.
- Early pregnancy decreases the likelihood that fibroids will develop. Fibroids have not been observed in girls who have not reached puberty, but adolescent girls may rarely develop fibroids.
- Other factors that researchers have associated with an increased risk of developing fibroids include having the first menstrual period (menarche) prior to age 10,
- consumption of alcohol (particularly beer),
- uterine infe@tions, and
Overall, these tumors are fairly common and occur in about 70% to 80% of all women by the time they reach age 50.
