What is the major cause of fibroid ?

Fibroids are benign tumors. This risk of cancer in a fibroid is estimated to be less than 1 in 500. There's in no evidence that benign fibroids will become cancerous.

Once fibroids are removed those particular fibroids cannot grow back. But fibroids are caused by genetic mutations within uterine muscle cells. This process can over time create new fibroids. In addition, there can be tiny fibroids that cannot be seen or felt, and therefore cannot be removed. This is most likely to happen in someone who has many little fibroids. Recurrence is least likely in women with one or few large fibroids than with multiple small ones.
