Uterine fibroid
Uterine fibroid

Uterine fibroids are common, non-cancerous tumors of the uterus. Although they are benign, they can be painful. The fibroid shown here is almost the size of a grapefruit!

There is no known cause for uterine fibroids, and treatments may range from hormonal therapy to hysterectomy.
