a benign tumor of connective and muscle tissue usually found in the uterus.

A noncancerous growth of the smooth muscle of the uterus. It appears firm, round, and grey-white. Multiple growths of this kind develop most often in the wall of the uterus. They usually occur in women between 30 and 50 years of age.

a noncancerous tumor of the uterus made up of smooth muscle and connective tissue

A benign "tumor" of the muscular wall of the uterus (the myometrium). More common with increasing age, but can occur in women in their twenties. Can be single or multiple, and can be located on the outside of the uterus (a subserous fibroid), within the wall of the uterus (an intramural fibroid), or protruding into the cavity of the uterus (a submucous fibroid. The closer it is (or they are) to the endometrial cavity, the more likely it is that a fibroid will disturb reproduction (either as miscarriage s or sometimes as infertility) and disturb menstrual bleeding. Surgery for removal of a fibroid, or myoma, is called a myomectomy.

A noncancerous tumour of the uterus composed of muscle fibres. Also called uterine myoma.

A benign fibrous and muscular growth of tissue in the muscular wall of the uterus

See myoma

Fibroids are balls of muscular tissue that grow inside the uterus, on the surface of the uterus, or in the muscular wall of the uterus. They are rarely cancerous. Half of the women who have fibroids never experience symptoms and require no treatment. But, even small fibroids can cause heavy and/or longer menstrual bleeding. Fibroids may contribute to infertility in some women possibly because they interfere with an embryo's ability to attach itself to the uterus.

A benign tumor of fibrous tissue in the uterus, may contribute to infertility.

A non-cancerous tumor of connective and muscular tissue, usually of the uterus.

A benign (noncancerous) uterine tumor made up of fibrous and muscular tissue.

A benign (not malignant) tumor of the uterine muscle and connective tissue.

A benign tumor of the uterus and the single most common indication for hysterectomy . Fibroids can be present and be inapparent. However, they are clinically apparent in up to 25% of women and cause significant morbidity , including prolonged or heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure or pain , and, in rare cases, reproductive dysfunction . Both the economic cost and the effect of fibroids on quality of life are substantial. See the entire definition of Fibroid

benign uterine tumor made up of fibrous or muscular tissue.

A fibrous non-malignant tumor in the uterus. Mayaffect fertility.

A benign growth in the uterus composed of muscle fibers and/or fibrous tissue.

A benign (non cancerous) tumour made up of fibrous and muscular tissue. H.S.G (Hysterosalpingogram) - An Xray test using dye as a contrast to visualise the womb cavity and to establish whether the fallopian tubes are open or not. The dye is introduced vaginally and no general anaesthetic is required.

(FYE-broyd) A benign tumor made up of fibrous and muscular tissue.

A benign tumor of the uterine muscle and connective tissue. FIMBRIA Finger like projections at the end of the fallopian tube nearest the ovary. When stimulated by the follicular fluid released during ovulation, the fingerlike ends grasp the ovary and coax the egg into the tube.

A noncancerous growth or tumor found in or on the uterine walls.

A ball of muscular tissue that can grow inside the uterus, on its surface, or inside the uterine wall. In most cases fibroids are not cancerous and require no treatment, and they do tend to subside as a woman approaches menopause. Fibroids can be treated if they cause symptoms such as pain, heavy or unusual uterine bleeding, infertility, and/or complications during pregnancy. Also known as myomas.
