Pathophysiology Book Based Myoma Uteri

This document discusses predisposing and precipitating factors that can lead to uterine fibroids. It outlines that factors like age, race, heredity, early menarche, and nulliparity can predispose a woman to developing fibroids. Precipitating factors include obesity, high fat diet, anxiety, oral contraceptive use, hormone replacement therapy, caffeine intake, and smoking. These factors can lead to estrogen dominance and increased estrogen production, causing proliferation of cells in the uterus and overgrowth of fibroids. Symptoms of fibroids include heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure or pain, bladder or bowel issues, and infertility.
