- Fibroid Tumorssearch for term
- Benign tumors of the muscle of the uterus. Fibroids develop in one of every four women sometime during their lifetime. If present inside the uterine cavity, they can interfere with implantation. Fibroids can also cause problems if they become large in size and impinge or put pressure on the uterine lining. They are treated by surgical removal, either via Laparoscopy, Hysteroscopy, or a major abdominal surgery.
