Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths of the uterus that often appear during a woman’s reproductive years. While some fibroids cause no symptoms, others can lead to heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, frequent urination, or fertility issues. Treatment options range from watchful waiting to medication or surgical procedures like myomectomy or hysterectomy, depending on the severity and symptoms.
