Fibroids Treatment

Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths of the uterus that often appear during childbearing years. Also called leiomyomas or myomas, uterine fibroids aren't associated with an increased risk of uterine cancer and almost never develop into cancer. Treatment for uterine fibroids can vary depending on the size, number, and location of the fibroids, as well as what symptoms they’re causing.
