Uterine Fibroids

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in the muscular wall of the uterus. They can vary in size, number, and location, and they are quite common among women, often during their reproductive years. While many women experience no symptoms, fibroids can cause issues such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pain, and pressure in the pelvic area. The exact cause isn't fully understood, but hormones like estrogen may play a role. Treatment options include monitoring, medication, and, in some cases, surgery, depending on the severity of symptoms and their impact on quality of life.
