A Fibroids Search Portal: Uterine fibroids are benign tumors which grow from the muscle layers of the uterus. About 25% of white and 50% of black women during their reproductive years are most affected by these most common neoplasms. Sometimes treatment is not required but when problematic, treatment may be surgical or with medication. Treatments include hysterectomy, hormonal therapy, myomectomy, or uterine artery embolization. Uterine fibroids shrink significantly after menopause.
