Fibroids are a condition in which growths are found in the women’s reproductive system; while many women will not ever know they are there some women will experience symptoms ranging from heavy bleeding and pain to infertility problems and incontinence.
What exactly are fibroids?
Fibroids are growths or benign tumours that grow in the reproductive system, more commonly the womb; they are made up of muscle fibre and range in size from that of a pea to as big as a water melon. Experts think that around 30 to 50% of all women will suffer from this condition at some time in their lives though the condition is seen more in women around the age of 30 and very rarely in women under the age of 20.
