What are Uterine Fibroids?

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous outgrowths that develop in the muscular wall of the uterus. They can vary in number and size and are common among women of reproductive age. Fibroids are composed of smooth muscle tissue and fibrous connective tissue. Symptoms can include heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain or pressure, frequent urination, and reproductive issues. While most fibroids do not cause fertility problems, certain factors, such as their location and size, can interfere with conception. At Ferty9 Fertility Centre, our experienced reproductive specialists can evaluate the impact of uterine fibroids on fertility and recommend appropriate treatment options.
