WHAT ARE FIBROIDS?
Fibroids are basically growths, abnormal growths that form in a woman’s uterus. Most times, these growths get very big and they cause serious abdominal pain and heavy period flow. As much as most people have signs of fibroid, other people show no signs at all. Fibroids are often described as non-cancerous although the causes are unknown. Living with fibroids is very painful and often times, uncomfortable. Although the causes of fibroids are unknown, they often grow rapidly when the hormonal levels and estrogen levels are very high especially during pregnancy.
