Uterine myomas, also known as fibroids, are benign tumors that develop in the muscular wall of the uterus. They are a common condition affecting many women, especially those of reproductive age. Fibroids can vary in size and number, and symptoms may include heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, frequent urination, and difficulties with pregnancy. While some women with fibroids experience no symptoms, others may require treatment to manage their condition. Treatment options range from medication to manage symptoms, such as hormonal therapies, to surgical procedures like myomectomy (removal of the fibroids) or hysterectomy (removal of the uterus). The choice of treatment depends on factors such as the size and location of the fibroids, the severity of symptoms, and the patient’s overall health and reproductive goals. Regular monitoring and consultation with a healthcare provider are essential for managing uterine myomas effectively.
