5. Rapid Growth: Fibromas in Overdrive
One of the most intriguing aspects of fibromas is their growth behavior. Most of them grow at a snail’s pace, taking their sweet time. However, occasionally, some fibromas decide to hit the accelerator, displaying rapid growth that can be both fascinating and alarming.
The triggers for such accelerated growth can vary. Sometimes, it’s due to hormonal changes. For instance, periods of heightened hormonal activity like puberty, pregnancy, or menopause can lead to a spurt in fibroma growth. In other cases, it might be due to external factors like injuries or skin traumas that invigorate the fibroma’s growth.
This rapid expansion isn’t just about size. As they grow, these fibromas might also undergo changes in color, texture, and even shape. They might evolve from a small, barely noticeable bump to a sizable, prominent growth in a relatively short time frame.(5)
