Fibroids are considered non cancerous tumours of the uterus normally found in over 80% of women. Uterine fibroids are made up of the muscle and connective tissue from the wall of the uterus. Fibroids may grow as a single nodule or in clusters and may range in size from one millimetre to more than 20 cm in diameter. They may grow within the wall of the uterus or they may project into the interior cavity or towards the outer surface of the uterus.
