What are uterine fibroids?

Uterine fibroids (also referred to as myoma, leiomyoma, leiomyomata, and fibromyoma) are benign (non-cancerous) tumors that grow within the muscle tissue of the uterus. Between 20-50% of women of childbearing age have uterine fibroids. While many women do not experience any problems, symptoms can be severe enough to require treatment.

Fibroids range in size from very small (coin sized) to larger than a melon. A very large uterine fibroid can cause the uterus to expand to the size of a six or seven-month pregnancy. There can either be one dominant fibroid or a cluster of many small fibroids.

What are common symptoms of uterine fibroids?


  • Very heavy and prolonged menstrual periods

  • Pain in the back of the legs

  • Pelvic pain or pressure

  • Pain during sexual intercourse

  • Pressure on the bladder which leads to a constant need to urinate, incontinence, or the inability to empty the bladder

  • Pressure on the bowel which can lead to constipation and/or bloating

  • An enlarged abdomen which may be mistaken for weight gain or pregnancy


How do I know if I have uterine fibroids?

During a visit to investigate these symptoms, your doctor will check the size of your uterus. If it feels enlarged, your doctor may order an ultrasound or a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) session, which can confirm the presence, location and size of fibroids. After identifying the size and location of your fibroid(s), and possibly after other diagnostic tests, your doctor may be able to rule out other potentially more serious conditions, and advise you of your options and a recommended course of treatment for the fibroids. If you do not notice any symptoms caused by fibroids there is no need to treat them. Your doctor may want to watch them and check for any growth.

India finds the infrastructure and technology at par with that in USA, UK and Europe. Uterus fibroid surgery is one the common treatments for patients coming to India.
