FIBROID
The womb of an average woman increases in size every month in response
to the sex hormones secreted by the body, and then decreases at the time of
menstruation. It is likely that an area of the muscles in the womb fails to
shrink with the rest of the womb.
Each month, the area grows slightly larger under the stimulus of the
released hormones and as the bulk increases a fibroid is formed. After
menopause, fibroid decreases in size as the uterus becomes smaller. CAN FIBROID CAUSE
INFERTILITY? Sometimes fibroid may cause sterility, they may also be a factor in
producing a miscarriage, and records show that most miscarriages that occur
without any external factor are most likely caused by fibroid.

fibrous tissues. It forms in the muscle of the womb (i.e. the UTERUS). Fibroid

than an inch (2.5cm) to more than a foot (30cm) across. It is estimated that
20% of women have fibroid by the time menopause begins. It shouldn’t be seen
as a chronic disorder.
DOES FIBROID HAVE ANY SYMPTOMS?
In most cases, a fibroid does not show any symptoms and it’s only
discovered in a gynecological examination. If any symptoms should occur that
would be heavy menstrual bleeding than normal a condition medically known as
MENORRHAGIA and these bleeding is often accompanied with pain ; also if the
fibroid develops close to the bladder or if it causes pressure on the bladder ,
urination is more frequent . A large fibroid can be felt through the abdominal
