Answer 2

Probably the same reason they had to put a larger X-Ray plate in when doing gall bladder shots on me back inside the seventies. I had an unusually 'elongated' gall bladder, still got it at almost 62 years of age. My mum and two sisters had theirs out due to problems. I'm petite and despite more kids I've kept my weight down and always eaten only stuff that suits me, since the list they gave me way back then.

Your womb is likely fine... don't worry...

Uterine fibroids are usually not dangerous, but can cause immense discomfort and lead to complications like anemia from heavy blood loss. In rare cases, they may cause complications that affect pregnancy.

In cases where there are no symptoms, treatment may not be necessary. However, proper diagnosis and treatment may be required if your symptoms are severe or causing complications. Along with conventional treatment, you can try some natural home remedies. Read here https://tr.im/t8w0b
