FIBROID: WHAT EVERY WOMAN MUST KNOW ABOUT IT
Fibroids are
non-cancerous tumours that grow in or around the womb (uterus). The growths are
made up of muscle and fibrous tissue and vary in size. Uterine fibroids are growths of the uterine
muscle occurring in 30-40% of women. The tumours are sensitive mainly to
oestrogen and progesterone. Most fibroids do not cause any problems and do not
require treatment.
