Uterine fibroids are the benign tumors that develop from the muscles of the uterine wall. Fibroids are a common problem among many women, but you may hardly realize it since they often produce no symptoms.
Fibroids are not a major health hazard. They often need no treatment and the presence of fibroids does not pose a risk of cancer. If your symptoms are worrisome, consult your gynecologist. Treatment may be with medicines or surgery or a combination of both.
