A fibroid uterus, also known as uterine fibroids or leiomyomas, refers to non-cancerous growths that develop within the muscle tissue of the uterus (womb). These growths are composed of fibrous tissue and muscle cells and can vary in size, ranging from tiny to quite large. Fibroids can be found in different locations within the uterus, including the wall (intramural), just beneath the lining (submucosal), or outside the uterus (subserosal).
While fibroids are typically benign and may not cause any symptoms, they can lead to various issues such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, pressure on the bladder or rectum, and even fertility problems in some cases. Treatment options range from observation to medication and surgical procedures, depending on the size, location, and severity of symptoms. If you suspect you have fibroids, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and guidance.
