Uterine fibroids are benign non-cancer tumors that grows from the smooth muscle tissue of the uterus. They are also known as leiomyomas or myomas. Fibroids can present in different sizes (pea to melon size), shapes, and locations. Fibroids can cause uterine enlargement and or distort the shape of the uterus and sometime fibroid can also arise from the cervix (neck of the womb). WHO IS AT RISK OF DEVELOPING FIBROIDS? Fibroids are commonly seen in women of reproductive age between 30–40 years, but can also been seen at any age. It is said that 1 in 5 women will have fibroids, but it is much more common in Afro-Caribbean. WHY DO FIBROIDS GROW IN THE UTERUS?
