Fibroids & Weight Loss

The cause of fibroids is not known, but it is thought that a hormonal imbalance may be the primary factor in developing the growths. Body fat is used by the body to produce estrogen and may lead to an imbalance between progesterone and estrogen in the body. This imbalance increases the likelihood that fibroids will develop. Restoring balance to your hormones with weight loss is a part of your fibroid treatment.
