According to studies, there are three out of four women who develop fibroids. However, the condition is not at all known to many leaving these women affected unaware that they have it and clueless if they should get treatment. 

Fibroids are also known as leiomyomas or most commonly referred to as myomas. During the childbearing years of women, they normally appear. This is caused by a single cell continuously dividing itself forming a rubbery mass. Although they are non-cancerous growths, their size could grow large that may distort the uterus. Knowing this condition is not cancerous is not a reason to be complacent because there are some cases where it led to cancer of the uterus. 

There are four types of fibroids; the intramural, subserosal, submucosal, and cervical. When you refer to intramural fibroids, these are found along the wall of the uterus. When it is found outside the uterus wall, it is subserosal. Fibroids that develop under the lining of the uterus are what you call the submucosal type. Cervical types are the fibroids found in the cervix. 

The thing about fibroids is rarely patients feel any symptoms. If there is any, commonly felt symptoms are anemia, backache, constipation, painful sex, pregnancy problems, and even repeated miscarriages.

To know whether you have fibroids, you must undergo ultrasound, hysteroscopy, trans-vaginal scans, laparoscopy, or biopsy. Sometimes because the condition does not manifest itself and does not lead to cancer, medical doctors just advise their patients to wait until it shrinks. Usually, it does during the menopausal stage of women. 

In other cases where the patient suffers from heavy periods and menstrual pressure, doctors prescribe medicines such as Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists. Sometimes, doctors also advise getting a progestin-releasing intrauterine device and at times birth control pills. These medications may not eliminate the fibroids but they treat its symptoms. 

Doctors may also advise the patient to get abdominal myomectomy if the fibroids have grown large. In some worst cases, hysterectomy or the removal of the uterus will be recommended which only means the women's ability to bear a child is totally extinguished. 

There are also other minimal-invasive techniques to eliminate fibroids like endometrial ablation, hysteroscopic myomectomy, laparoscopic myomectomy, MRI-guided focused ultrasound surgery, myolysis, and uterine artery embolization.
