4- What causes fibroids?  No one really knows, but there have been several theories that include females being estrogen dominant, emotional distress of various ethnic groups and hormonal imbalance.

 

5- How are fibroids diagnosed?  Some fibroids may be discovered from a pelvic exam and ultrasound like mine, however they can be diagnosed several ways. Fibroids can also be diagnosed by several test to include MRI, CAT scan, x-ray, hysterosalpingogram or sonohysterogram.
