Leiomyomas also known as fibroids are benign growths (non-cancerous) that occur in the uterus (womb). They are a very common finding, and while most do not cause symptoms, they can be a cause of pelvic pain, and heavy menstrual bleeding in reproductive aged women. The exact cause for them is unknown, but risk factors include a positive family history of fibroids, obesity, or early onset of puberty
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
Treatments include medication to manage symptoms, and possibly shrink the fibroids. In some cases surgical removal of the fibroid or uterus is required.

Male, 20s
My experience was great. I was worried, but the symptom checker helped me narrow down what it might be. I feel a little relieved compared to when I first started, and it gives me a starting point for what my symptoms could mean.

Male, 50s
The questions asked and possible causes seemed spot on, putting me at ease for a next-step solution.

Female, 40s
I was actually very impressed with the results it provided because, although I didn’t mention it during the questionnaire because I thought it was unrelated, it suggested I may have something I’ve actually been diagnosed with in the past.
