No, follicles and fibroids are not the same. Follicles are small sacs in the ovaries that contain developing eggs and play a crucial role in the menstrual cycle and ovulation. In contrast, fibroids are non-cancerous tumors made of muscle and fibrous tissue that can grow in or on the uterus, potentially causing various symptoms. While both are related to reproductive health, they have different structures and functions.
