Uterine myomas are also known as uterine fibroids. These fibroids grow from the smooth muscle layer of the uterus. This smooth muscle wall is known as the myometrium. The fibroids are most commonly benign (non-cancerous) tumors that are typically found during a woman's child-bearing years.

Is it possible to have a uterus transplant?

I have heard that there was the first uterus implant done in another country, and subsequently heard that they were studying implanting uteri in the U.S. The U.S. has not perfected a method of a permanent uterus implant, however. The method they are studying now includes anti-rejection drugs so that the woman the uterus is implanted to can have the uterus implant until after she gives birth, then it is removed. I am hopeful that they will continue this study, but I have heard that many people find a uterus implantation ethically "wrong", fearing that men will ask for this implant.
