Fibroids are benign (non-malignant) tumors arising from the uterus. They would be seen in as many as 1 in 5 women after the age of forty, if all were to undergo an ultrasound of the lower abdomen. Even after extensive research, we have not been able to ascertain why fibroids are formed but genetic and environmental factors are suspected to be partly responsible.
