What could cause an enlarged uterus?

Interventional Radiology at Penn: Q/A Sessions about Uterine...
Benign tumors of the uterus called fibroids are the most common cause of an enlarged uterus. An ultrasound test can help determine the cause of an enlarged uterus when one is detected on physical examination by a gynecologist. If fibroids are the cause of the enlargement, one of several treatment options is uterine artery embolization. That number is very small since the success rate of UAE is relatively high so that repeat embolization is not needed.

I have been told that my uterus in enlarged and that I have fibroids. What is this?

Frequently Ask OBGYN Questions
The uterus is about 98% muscle. When tumors in this muscle develop we call them fibroids. Only rarely are they cancerous. These muscle tumors can distort to uterus and enlarge it sometimes leading to abnormal bleeding. They can also cause pressure symptoms and problems by pressing on adjacent structures in the pelvis. These can lead to bladder, kidney, bowel problems, pain, etc. The management of the fibroids depends upon their size and the symptoms they are causing.

What about rupture of the uterus?

Vaginal Birth After Cesarean FAQ - Childbirth.org

One is that when we use Pitocin, if needed, during a labor, we regulate the amount that goes in.
