A fibroid is a mass of tissue which is formed in the basin. A fibroid tumor is not cancerous or benign. It can be formed in any part of the basin, but we see most often in the uterus. Fibroids in the uterus formed are known as uterine fibroid tumors. Fibroid tumors are found only in women after puberty. In addition, they commonly occur in women between the age group 25 to 35 years. They are rarely found in women who are below 20 years. After training, fibroids constantly keep on growing. During menopause, fibroids growing, and sometimes disappears.

Causes of Fibroids
The exact cause of fibroids is unknown. However, doctors believe that the dysfunction or abnormality of the function of estrogen (female hormone) may result in the growth of fibroids. Therefore, if a woman is taking estrogen-containing contraceptives or supplements, there are more opportunities for the growth of fibroids. Similarly, during pregnancy, women's bodies naturally produce excess estrogen, which can also lead to the formation of fibroids.

Fibroid tumor symptoms
Excessive bleeding is the classic symptom of fibroids. Heavy bleeding is observed in every 4-5 days of menstruation. Sometimes it is also considered that periods last longer. Due to the loss of excess blood, anemia can be developed in women. Sometimes bleeding or spotting is also observed between two menstrual cycles.Read more

Sometimes, infertility can be one of the signs of complications or fibroid. Fibroids do not directly affect the pregnancy, but can cause problems inside. If the fibroid is located in the uterus, it can occupy the space for the child. In addition, fibroids developed in other parts of the female reproductive system can even cause an obstacle in the path of the fertilized egg reaching its place. In most cases, fibroids are small and disappear with menopause. However, they must be treated if they start to cause problems.
   
The treatment of fibroid tumors
The location and size of the fibroid and the woman's age plays an important role in choosing the treatment method to be adopted for fibroids. If the fibroid is growing during the period of menopause (between 43-45 years), there is little need to treat it as it disappears after menopause. In addition, fibroids that are very small do not require treatment. They can be treated with medication. On the other hand, some fibroids are large and are located in places complicated. Therefore, they must be treated using surgical procedures.
