What is Uterine Fibroids?
Uterine Fibroids are abnormal noncancerous growths that develop in or on a women’s uterus. Uterine Fibroids aren’t related to an increased risk of uterine cancer and fibroids never develop into cancer. Fibroids are also known as leiomyoma, myomas, uterine fibroids aren’t associated with an increased risk of uterine cancer and almost never develop into cancer.
Fibroids will vary in size, shape, and location. They can show up in your uterus, its wall, or on uterus surface. They will additionally attach to your uterus by a stalk- or stem-like structure.
A woman might have only 1 fibroid or several fibroids varied in size. A fibroid may remain terribly tiny for a long time and suddenly grow rapidly, or it will grow slowly for a number of years.
Types of Fibroids
The type of fibroid a woman develops depends on its location within the uterus.
There are mainly 3 different types of uterine fibroids:-
These are the most common type. They grow on the surface/outside of the uterus.
These grow within the muscular wall of the uterus.
These fibroids will grow into an open space inside the uterus.
Some fibroids will become pedunculated fibroids, which suggests that the fibroid contains a stalk that attaches to the uterus.
