Fibroids are non-cancerous (benign) tumors that grow from the muscle layers of the uterus (womb). They are also known as uterine fibroids, leiomyomas, or myomas.
Fibroid are growths of smooth muscle, and can vary from the size of a bean to as large as a melon.
Fibroid affect at least 20 percent of all women at some
point in their life. Women of reproductive age are the most likely to develop
them. Also, overweight and obese women have a significantly higher
risk of developing fibroids, compared with women of normal weight.
Four types of fibroids
There are four types of fibroid, characterized by their
location in the uterus:
- Intramural - located in the wall of the uterus, this is the most common type.
- Subserosal fibroid - located outside the wall of the uterus but underneath the tissue layer that surrounds the uterus. They can develop into pedunculated fibroid (stalks) and become quite large.
- Submucosal fibroid - located in the muscle beneath the lining of the uterus wall. This type can protrude into the cavity of the uterus.
- Cervical fibroid - located in the neck of the womb (the cervix).
Causes of fibroid
Experts cannot come to a common
consensus about why fibroid occur.
During a woman's reproductive years, estrogen and
progesterone levels are high. When estrogen levels are high, especially
during pregnancy, fibroid tend to swell. When estrogen levels are low, fibroid may shrink, for example, during a woman's menopause.

Most women have no symptoms, but
around 1 in 3 will

- Anemia (as a result of heavy periods)
- Backache
- Constipation
- Discomfort in the lower abdomen (especially if fibroid are large)
- Frequent urination

- Pain in the legs
- Painful sex
- Swelling in the lower abdomen (especially if fibroids are large)
