Fibroid is the most common form of tumor found in females. It occurs mainly during the middle or later reproductive age in females. Fibroids may grow as a single tumor or in multiple numbers as in clusters. Unlike its name it contains muscles and not fibroid tissues. It occurs in approximately 25% women and can lead to hysterectomy. In United States out of every 5 women over the age of 35, 1 has uterine fibroid. About 60000 hysterectomies are performed annually out of which one-third is a case of uterine fibroid. '''Gmax''' The exact cause for the development of uterine fibroid is still unknown to doctors. However after performing researches they have come up with changes of gene mutation to be cause in the formation of uterine fibroid. But it is still not definite that uterine fibroid could be directly related to genes. Environmental causes can also accentuate the growth. They grow from the smooth muscular tissues and in extreme cases reach even till the rib cage expanding from the uterus. The 2 female hormones necessary for the growth are estrogen and progesterone. A complex interaction between these two hormones accompanied by a number of factors responsible for cell growth causes it, so usually seen in women between the age of twenty five and thirty five. http://homenspoder.com/ -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9370 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
