Uterine Fibroid

Fibroids are abnormal growths that develop in or on a women’s uterus. Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous tumors.

They are made up of the muscles and connective tissue from the wall of the uterus. Sometimes these tumors become quite large and cause severe abdominal pain and heavy periods (menses).

Women who are nearing menopause are at the greatest risk of developing fibroids. Uterine fibroids are the most common tumor of the reproductive tract.

Types

Intramural fibroids/Interstitial fibroids – it is the commonest type of fibroid. Develop in the muscular wall of the uterus.

Submucous fibroid – fibroids grow towards the cavity of the uterine wall and it is lined by the endometrium. It causes infertility.

Subserous fibroid – grow towards serosa of the uterus and become pedunculated fibroid (asymptomatic)

Causes

1. Hereditary – if your first-degree relative is suffering from fibroid there is an increased risk that you will develop fibroids too.

2. Obesity
