Uterine Fibroids
The muscle cells of the uterus can sometimes multiply rapidly and form a benign tumor called a fibroid. At least 60% of all women will have a fibroid detected at some point in their life. If fibroids are large enough or too close to the uterine cavity, they can result in infertility. If indicated, hysteroscopic or laparoscopic surgery can be performed to remove the fibroid(s) (myomectomy).
