Fibroids
A fibroid is a non-cancerous (benign) growth in the wall of the womb (uterus). They are also called uterine myomas, fibromyomas or leiomyomas, with the size varying from person to person. Fibroids can increase in size, decrease in size or it can go away with time. They can occur anywhere in the womb and maybe :-
- Intramural fibroids (growth within the muscle tissue of the womb). This is the most common place for fibroids to grow.
- Submucous fibroids (growth from the inner wall to the womb cavity.
- Subserous fibroids (growth from the womb’s outside wall into the pelvis).
- Pedunculated fibroids (growth from the womb wall attached to it by a narrow stalk).
