Uterine Fibroids
Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths that develop in the uterus, typically during a woman’s childbearing years. Fibroids, which are benign tumours that can form in the uterus, can result in excessive bleeding, pelvic discomfort, and problems with fertility, among other symptoms. Treatment depends on factors such as the size, location, and number of fibroids, the severity of symptoms, and the woman’s age and desire for future fertility.
