About Uterine Fibroids in Chennai
Uterine fibroids are benign, non-cancerous growths of muscle and fibrous tissue that develop within or on the wall of the uterus, ranging in size from tiny seedlings undetectable by the human eye to large masses that can distort the shape of the uterus. They are extremely common during a woman's reproductive years and their growth is strongly influenced by estrogen and progesterone, often shrinking after menopause as hormone levels decline. While many fibroids cause no symptoms, larger or numerous fibroids can lead to heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure, and, in some cases, fertility challenges.
