Myoma, also known as a uterine fibroid, is a non-cancerous tumor that develops in the muscle tissue of the uterus. These growths can vary in size, from small seedlings to large masses, and may cause symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, or pressure on nearby organs. While the exact cause of myomas is not fully understood, they are influenced by hormones, particularly estrogen and progesterone. Many women with myomas experience no symptoms and may not require treatment, but options like medication or surgery are available for those who do.
