What are Uterine Fibroids?
Uterine fibroids (leiomyomas) are growths made of muscle and connective tissue that form in the uterus. They are usually non-cancerous and very common.
Fibroids can vary in size from tiny nodules to large masses and may be single or multiple.
Types of Uterine Fibroids
- Intramural fibroids – develop within the uterine wall
- Submucosal fibroids – grow inside the uterine cavity
- Subserosal fibroids – grow outside the uterus
- Pedunculated fibroids – attached by a stalk
Different types affect symptoms, fertility, and treatment options.
Symptoms of Uterine Fibroids
Many fibroids may not cause symptoms, but when they do, common signs include:
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
- Pelvic pain or pressure
- Frequent urination
- Back pain
- Pain during intercourse
- Infertility or pregnancy complications
Heavy bleeding is one of the most common symptoms associated with fibroids.
Causes of Uterine Fibroids
The exact cause is not fully known, but factors include:
- Hormonal imbalance (estrogen & progesterone)

Hormones like estrogen play a major role in stimulating fibroid growth.
