Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumor of the female reproductive organs and also one of the most common tumors in the human body. They are also known as fibromyomas or uterine fibromas. Since uterine fibroids are primarily composed of the proliferation of uterine smooth muscle cells, with a small amount of fibrous connective tissue present as supporting tissue, they are referred to as uterine leiomyomas.
