Fibroids are benign tumors that develop in the muscular tissue of the uterus and are commonly seen in women of reproductive age. They often grow without causing symptoms, but in some cases, they can lead to menstrual irregularities, heavy bleeding, abdominal pain, frequent urination, and pain during sexual intercourse. This condition, which can negatively impact a woman’s quality of life, may lead to more serious health issues if not properly diagnosed and treated.

Fibroids are typically diagnosed through ultrasonography. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) may also be used to obtain a more detailed view of the uterus and the location of the fibroids. Depending on the size, number of fibroids, and the patient’s symptoms, different treatment methods may be applied. While regular monitoring may be sufficient for small and asymptomatic fibroids, medical treatment or surgical intervention may be necessary for fibroids that cause severe symptoms or grow rapidly.

Surgical options such as myomectomy (removal of only the fibroids) or hysterectomy (complete removal of the uterus) are considered based on the patient’s fertility status.
