Patient's question:
It has been discovered for over 5 years, now there are 7.5, 7.3, 5.7Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumor of the female reproductive organs and 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 proliferating smooth muscle cells of the uterus with a small amount of fibrous tissue, the term "uterine leiomyoma" is more accurate. They are commonly referred to as uterine fibroids.
