Fibroids are growths that develop from muscle tissues in a woman's womb. They are not cancerous and are usually harmless and very common. In most cases, women with fibroids do not realize they have them, as the growths are too small to cause noticeable complications.
A lot of factors contribute to fibroids, such as age, number of children you've had, diet.
Fibroids may cause challenges depending on their size and location in the body.
Large fibroids could cause bleeding, or compress internal organs and affect the urinary or stooling pattern. They may also affect fertility by stopping implantation or even cause miscarriages or premature labour, depending on how large they area.
It is important to seek medical advice when you notice these occurrences. More about the topic will be discussed in the next episode so watch out!
