Uterine fibroids are common benign tumors in women, as many as 40% of women by age 40 have fibroids. They usually cause no symptoms; but can cause bleeding with or without pain, pelvic pressure or pain, frequent urination due to pressure on bladder, constipation, recurrent miscarriages, and infertility. They can be inside or outside the uterus, or within the uterine wall. They begin quite small and grow very slowly, growth can be accelerated by estrogen (such as oral contraceptives). They usually require no treatment unless quite large or causing significant bleeding. They can become as large as a Basketball on rare occasions.
