What is Leiomyoma?
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
