What are all the causes for the Uterine fibroids in women?

What causes uterine fibroids?

The cause of uterine fibroids is not known. Fibroids begin when cells overgrow in the muscular wall of the uterus.

Once a fibroid starts, its growth seems to be linked to the hormone estrogen. The hormone progesterone may also promote fibroid growth. This is why uterine fibroids are not a problem during low-hormone times of a woman's life, when her menstrual cycle is not active. After menstrual periods stop completely (known as menopause, usually around age 50), uterine fibroids shrink and symptoms go away.

As you age, you are more likely to have uterine fibroids, especially from your 30s and 40s through menopause. Most women have uterine fibroids by the time they reach age 50. Many do not have symptoms.
