Benign tumors originating from the muscle cells of the uterus are called fibroids. Fibroids are the most common tumors in the female reproductive system.

One of every 4-5 women has a large or small fibroid. Myomas do not usually cause any symptoms and are detected in routine examinations and therefore do not need to be treated.

Regular checks and monitoring of their size and condition are usually sufficient. These masses enter a stagnant period after menopause and do not grow anymore, on the contrary, they tend to shrink. In case of symptoms, the most common complaint is excessive menstrual bleeding and anemia, that is, anemia that develops accordingly.

Fibroids can cause infertility or recurrent miscarriages in some cases. The location of the fibroid determines its relationship with the infertile.

While fibroids located close to the cornual area where the tubes meet with the uterus may affect the permeability of the tubes, fibroids that disrupt the order of the endometrium may adversely affect the placement of the embryo and the continuation of the pregnancy. Again, depending on myomas, bleeding may be excessive after delivery, and the uterus may not contract enough.

Another complaint caused by fibroids is pain due to pressure and effects on neighboring organs.

Very large fibroids can cause swelling in the abdomen.
