Fibroids
Fibroids are noncancerous growths in the uterus commonly appearing during women's childbearing years.4‘Uterine Fibroids.’ Mayo Clinic, Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, 10 Dec. 2019, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/uterine-fibroids/symptoms-causes/syc-20354288 The growths are common and aren't associated with increased cancer risk.
Fibroids range from microscopic to masses large enough to increase the size of the uterus. These growths may be associated with low progesterone because high levels of estrogen commonly cause them to form. When progesterone is low, hormonal balance is thrown off, and estrogen commonly rises too high.5Admin. ‘How Progesterone Affects Fibroids - Fibroid Treatment Collective.’ Treatment for Uterine Fibroids with Embolization (UFE), 20 June 2019, fibroids.com/blog/progesterone-affects-fibroids/
