Why do uterine fibroids form?
Uterine fibroids ( also known as leiomyomas, myomas, or fibromas) are benign tumors that grow from the muscle of the uterus. can sometimes be referred to by patients or other sources as:
Womb tumors
Uterine nodules
Muscle tumors of the uterus
Non-cancerous uterine lumps
Benign uterine masses
They are hormone-sensitive, mainly affected by estrogen and progesterone.
What causes uterine fibroids?
The exact cause of fibroid development is still not fully understood, but several risk factors and mechanisms have been supported by research:
Hormonal influence: Estrogen and progesterone promote fibroid growth. Fibroids rarely develop before puberty and tend to shrink after menopause.
Genetic mutations: Up to 70% of fibroids contain mutations in the MED12 gene, as noted in studies published in the
New England Journal of Medicine and PLOS One.
Family history: Women with a first-degree relative with fibroids have a 3-fold higher risk.
Ethnicity: Black women are 2–3 times more likely to develop fibroids, have larger fibroids, and at a younger age compared to other groups.
Obesity and diet: Higher BMI, red meat consumption, and low fruit/vegetable intake are associated with increased risk.
Vitamin D deficiency: Inverse association between Vitamin D levels and fibroid size was observed in recent meta-analyses.
Environmental factors: Exposure to endocrine-disrupting chemicals like phthalates and BPA may influence fibroid development.
So in summary, the risk factors are listed above.
Risk factors:
Early onset of menstruation
Obesity
Family history
Hormonal imbalance
Vitamin D deficiency
