Uterine fibroids are common, non-cancerous growths in the uterus that usually develop during reproductive years. Also known as myomas, they vary widely in size and number. Some are microscopic, while others can grow as large as a grapefruit or more, potentially distorting the uterus and even filling the pelvis or abdomen.
