This is obviously not a normal uterus. It is enlarged because of the fibroids. A normal uterus is about the size of the palm of your hand. Of course that is without a baby or fibroids inside. Anyhow. You can see the cervix and you can see the circular fibroids all over the uterus
- Known risk factors are African-American descent, nulliparity, obesity, PCOS, Diabetes, hypertension
- fibroids are hormone dependent. So after menopause and before your period, you don't have fibroids
- seals an dogs also suffer from uterine fibroids
- there is a genetic component but it doesnt mean you'll get them because your mom does...
- we don understand why or how they develop
- the only treatment for fibroids is hysterectomy
