Noncancerous uterine growths are known as leiomyomas or myomas which frequently manifest themselves during a woman’s fertile age. The etiology of these fibroids is uncertain. Family history of fibroids, obesity, or early puberty initiation are risk factors associated with leiomyomas. Heavy menstrual blood, lengthy periods, and pelvic pain are some of the common symptoms of the condition. Moreover, these nearly never turn into cancer and are not linked to a higher risk of uterine cancer.
