They affect 1 in 5 women of reproductive age, so they are very common. Fibroids vary significantly in size — from as small as 5 mm to as large as 20 cm — although most do not exceed 4 or 5 cm. Furthermore, they can grow during a woman’s fertile years and usually shrink or disappear after menopause. The exact cause of fibroids is still unknown, but their growth is linked to oestrogen levels, and genetic factors may also play a role.
