Can you tell me about uterine fibroids?
Asked by Female, 35 · 2 months ago
Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths in the muscular wall of the uterus that typically appear during childbearing years. They can cause symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and a feeling of pressure, though many women have fibroids without any symptoms. Treatment depends on the size of the fibroids, severity of symptoms, and desire for pregnancy, and may include medication, minimally invasive procedures, or surgery. Consult a gynaecologist for personalised advice.
