Myomas, also known as Uterine Fibroids, are growths that develop in the uterine wall.
They’re usually harmless (noncancerous). Uterine fibroids can develop because of:
- Genetics
- Hormonal Imbalance
- Pregnancy
Some women are unaware that they have uterine fibroids until they undergo a pelvic exam or an ultrasound.
When a woman complains of unusually heavy periods, uterine fibroids are frequently discovered during an exam.
Fibroids can also have the following symptoms:
- Constant feeling of fullness
- Pain during intercourse
- Pelvic pressure or pain
- Lower back pain
- Frequent urination
Uterine fibroids can sometimes affect your fertility. If you’re having trouble getting pregnant or staying pregnant, more than 70% of women suffer from the same.
