What Causes Uterine Fibroids?

The exact cause of uterine fibroids is not fully understood, but research suggests they develop from a combination of genetic, hormonal, and growth factor influences. Estrogen and progesterone, which are hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle, appear to stimulate their growth, which is why fibroids often enlarge during reproductive years and shrink after menopause. Family history, certain genetic changes within uterine muscle cells, and factors like early menstruation or obesity can also increase the likelihood of developing fibroids.

other gynecologic conditions often evaluated alongside fibroids

Uterine fibroids can occur alongside other gynecologic conditions that may worsen symptoms or complicate fertility. Dr. Siedhoff’s advanced gynecologic surgical expertise allows him to address multiple conditions in a single, minimally invasive procedure, restoring function, improving comfort, and protecting reproductive potential.

Schedule Appointment
Uterine Isthmocele
A uterine isthmocele, or cesarean scar defect, can lead to pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, and infertility. Dr. Siedhoff is uniquely qualified in repairing this rare condition using minimally invasive techniques, ensuring optimal restoration of uterine health and structure.
Uterine Septum
A uterine septum is a congenital malformation that can impact fertility and increase the risk of miscarriage. Surgical correction involves precise hysteroscopic resection to normalize the uterine cavity and improve reproductive outcomes.
Hydrosalpinx
Hydrosalpinx occurs when a fallopian tube becomes blocked and filled with fluid, often reducing fertility and causing pelvic discomfort. Treatment may involve laparoscopic removal or repair to restore pelvic anatomy and improve IVF success rates.
Ovarian Cysts
Ovarian cysts, whether functional, benign, or related to endometriosis, can cause pain, bloating, and hormonal disruption. Dr. Siedhoff employs meticulous laparoscopic cyst removal to preserve healthy ovarian tissue while resolving symptoms.
