Uterine Fibroids

Fibroids are benign growths in the wall of the uterus, the reproductive organ where a fetus develops. The tumors often grow into the uterine cavity. In rare cases, fibroids may protrude from the uterus toward nearby organs. Fibroids vary in size from very small to eight or more inches in diameter. Usually more than one fibroid is present. About 20% to 30% of women of childbearing age, and as many as half of all women, have fibroids. Many do not realize it. Most do not develop symptoms until their late 30s or 40s.
