According to research and case studies, the causes of a ruptured fibroid can include: • An increase in blood pressure or abdominal pressure • Twisting in a fibroid that has a stalk • An injury that tears the fibroid from the uterus • The fibroid growing too large for its current blood supply Medical professionals don’t quite understand why ruptured fibroids occur since they have so few cases to examine.
