Fibroids are rubbery, benign tumors that grow in the wall of the uterus and sometimes on the cervix.
Fibroids are only rarely found in other parts of the body and they're rarely cancerous. The cause of fibroids is not completely understood. However, they seem to be linked to an abnormal response to estrogen. There is evidence that fibroids grow larger with the use of oral contraceptives and with hormone replacement therapy. There's also evidence that progesterone levels stimulate fibroid growth.
