Fibroids, commonly known as leiomyomas, are uterine smooth muscle tumors that are benign. They develop under the effect of estrogen and progesterone and are thus visible throughout the reproductive years. Fibroids affect 40% of women by the age of 40. Fibroids shrink in size as a result of menopause and a decrease in hormones. Abnormal bleeding is the most frequent sign of fibroids. When fibroids develop, they may create pressure on the bladder, rectum, or pelvis. If you experience any of the above symptoms, get an appointment with a gynecologist and get treatment for your fibroid.
