- Fibroid
- 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.
