Myoma

A myoma is a benign tumor, that is, non-cancerous, that develops in the muscle of the uterus; it is also known as a fibroid or uterine leiomyoma.

How it presents? Many myomas produce no symptoms, but others can cause heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding, a feeling of pressure in the lower abdomen, or frequent urination.

Associated factors: they are related to female hormones and family history; their size and number vary from person to person.

Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist is the one who evaluates myomas and provides follow-up according to each case. If you have heavy bleeding or persistent pelvic discomfort, scheduling a gynecological checkup helps clarify the cause and guide the next steps.
