A reader’s Comment on Theory on Fibroid Growth

A My health Reader send me this from the Fibroids post yesterday.
It’s an interesting theory. I know I had fibroids (because I had flooding) at least seven years ago, and possibly ten. However, it was only after I got married in 2004 — and became sexually active — that I found it uncomfortable to lie on my stomach, noticed trouble breathing, etc. Dunno.

Theory on Fibroid Growth

Now, this is just a theory but hear me out..

I’ve been growing this fibroid probably for the past 5 years. I remember when I could barely feel it and prayed for it to go away with my hands on top of my then pretty flat belly. It continued to grow slowly.

The moment when it shot up immediately to where I didn’t know what hit me was when……..almost two years ago……..I started dating and then within a month was living with my boyfriend ( and we’re still together). That’s when it exploded into this huge monster and I wonder……..sex increases estrogen, no??? And estrogen feeds fibroids, no???…….just a theory but that’s when it exploded !!!!
