Understanding and treating fibroids at NAU Urology Specialists

At NAU Urology Specialists, we understand that fibroids can significantly impact a woman’s health and quality of life. Fibroids, also known as uterine leiomyomas, are noncancerous tumors that develop in the uterus. While many women may experience fibroids without any symptoms, those that do can face various challenges.

What are fibroids?

Fibroids are muscular tumors that can vary in size, ranging from tiny seedlings to large masses. These growths can be found within the uterine wall, on its surface, or even inside the uterus. The exact cause of fibroids is not clearly understood, but factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, and body weight may play a role.

Symptoms of fibroids

Many women with fibroids may not experience noticeable symptoms; however, some may encounter heavy menstrual bleeding, prolonged periods, pelvic pain, or pressure. If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s critical to reach out for professional care.
