Estrogen dominance causes the uterus to grow, and without the monthly balancing effect of progesterone it doesn't have the proper signals to stop growing. In some women this results in an enlarged uterus that presses on other organs, such as the bladder, and often on the digestive system, and generally causes discomfort and heavy menstrual bleeding. In other women estrogen dominance results in fibroids.

docs really dont know what causes fibroids, they say that it could be heredity being the growing cells will change into fibroids..also they think that it is caused by higher levels of estrogen and other hormones
