FAQs
Fibroids, also known as uterine leiomyomas or myomas, are noncancerous growths of the uterus that often appear during childbearing years. They are composed of muscle and fibrous tissue and can vary in size.
The exact cause of fibroids is unclear, but they are influenced by genetic and hormonal factors. Estrogen and progesterone, hormones that regulate the menstrual cycle, seem to play a role in their development and growth.
Symptoms can include heavy menstrual bleeding, prolonged menstrual periods, pelvic pressure or pain, frequent urination, and backache. However, some women with fibroids may not experience noticeable symptoms.
Diagnosis often involves a pelvic exam, imaging studies such as ultrasound or MRI, and sometimes additional tests like hysteroscopy or endometrial biopsy to rule out other conditions.
Treatment options depend on the severity of symptoms and the individual’s reproductive plans. Treatment may include medication to control symptoms, noninvasive procedures like uterine artery embolization, or surgical interventions such as myomectomy or hysterectomy.
