Answer
A uterine fibroid mass, also known as a leiomyoma or myoma, is a non-cancerous growth that develops in the muscular wall of the uterus. These fibroids are very common, especially in women of reproductive age.
They can vary in size, shape, and number, and may grow within the uterine wall (intramural), just beneath the uterine lining (submucosal), or bulge outward from the outer surface of the uterus (subserosal). Symptoms can include heavy menstrual bleeding, prolonged menstrual periods, pelvic pain or pressure, frequent urination, constipation, and backache, though many fibroids cause no symptoms at all.
