Fibroids (Uterine Fibroids) Treatment In Mahabubnagar

Fibroids are abnormal growths that grow in or on a female’s uterus. At times these growths become very enormous and cause severe abdominal pain and heavy periods. In some cases, they cause no signs or symptoms.

What are the causes of fibroids?

Doctors don't know the reason for uterine fibroids, but research says:

1. Hereditary changes
2. Hormone fibroids contain more estrogen and progesterone receptors. Fibroids will start shrinking after menopause because of a decrease in hormone production.
3. IGF-1 insulin-like growth factor, may influence fibroid growth.
4. Extracellular matrix (ECM). Like mortar between bricks. ECM is increased in fibroids and makes them stringy.

The 3 main types of fibroid are:

1. Subserosal fibroids: These are the most common type. They develop on the outside of the uterus.
2. Intramural fibroids: These develop inside the muscular wall of the uterus.
3. Submucosal fibroids: These develop into the open space inside the uterus.
