Most women will develop fibroids at some point in their lives
Fibroids are the most frequently seen tumors of the female reproductive system. Fibroids are growths made up of connective tissue, smooth muscle cells and muscle cells that usually form in the wall of your uterus. In more than 99% of fibroid cases, the tumors are benign (non-cancerous). Fibroids start as pea-sized lumps, but they can grow steadily during your reproductive years.
