What is Uterine fibroid?
A '''uterine fibroid''' is a tumor that is not [[cancer]]. It is a benign [[Tumour|tumor]]. This kind of tumor grows in the muscle of the [[uterus]], or womb. Fibroids often do not grow very large and do not always need to be treated. This kind of tumor often gets smaller after [[Menopause|menopaus]]<nowiki/>e. But sometimes fibroids cause heavy bleeding or pain. In this case, a [[Medical doctor|physician]] may treat it.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.womenshealth.gov/glossary/#u|title=Glossary {{!}} Womenshealth.gov|website=womenshealth.gov|language=en|access-date=2018-08-13}}</ref> ==References== {{reflist}} [[Category:Diseases and disorders of the female reproductive system]] [[Category:Female reproductive system]]
