Uterine Fibroids
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Uterine fibroids consist of the presence of myomas, benign tumors made up of muscular and fibrous tissue that grow inside or around the uterus. It is a common condition in women of reproductive age and does not always cause discomfort.
Common symptoms: When it does show up, it may be associated with:
- Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding
- Pain or a feeling of pressure in the lower abdomen
- Needing to urinate more frequently
Common causes: Their development is related to hormonal factors and individual predisposition, though the exact origin can vary from one person to another.
Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist is the one who guides its follow-up; in select cases the general surgeon or the oncologist may be involved to rule out other causes. If you have unusual bleeding or persistent pelvic pain, it is worth scheduling a professional evaluation.
