What are Fibroids or Uterine Fibroids?

This problem is seen in women. Sometimes some non-cancerous growths (benign tumors), made up of fibrous tissue and smooth muscle, develop around or inside the uterus. These growths are called fibroids and are also known as leiomyomas or uterine myomas.

As you can see in the following image, fibroids can develop at different locations inside and around the uterus including:

• Fibroid within the uterine wall
• Fibroid within the inside layer of the uterine wall
• Fibroid outside the uterus attached by a stem
• Fibroid within the outside layer of the uterine wall

What Causes Uterine Fibroids?

The exact reason for fibroid development is not known but it is believed that this condition is linked to a female reproductive hormone called Oestrogen. Oestrogen is produced by the female reproductive organs (Ovaries). It is seen that fibroids develop in women of ages 16-50 when estrogen productions are at their highest levels. It is also observed that fibroids are more common in over-weighed women because the increase in weight results in more production of estrogen.

There are lesser chances of fibroids in women who have had children. 

What are Common Symptoms of Uterine Fibroids?

In most cases, women don’t know that they have fibroids. The reason is the lack of any clear symptoms.

It is seen that women who have the following symptoms usually have fibroids:

• Painful periods

If any woman has these symptoms then she must consult her physician for a proper checkup. In some rare cases, fibroids can result in infertility or difficulty during pregnancy.
