Fibroids are growths that develop in the womb. They are made of muscle and tissue, can vary in size, and can grow anywhere within the uterus. Around 2 in 3 women will develop at least one fibroid during their lifetime, though they are more prevalent in women aged 30-50.  Many women won't have any symptoms, but when they do, the main symptom is heavy periods. If you have fibroids that need treatment, a GP may recommend medicine, but if it doesn't work, you may need to see a gynaecologist for further medicine or surgery.
