Myoma is another word for a uterine fibroid, a benign smooth muscle growth in the uterus.
Symptoms may include heavy periods, lower abdominal swelling, pelvic pain or pressure, back pain, passing urine often, constipation, or difficulty getting pregnant.
Imaging helps show how many fibroids are present, where they are located, how large they are, and whether they are likely to explain bleeding, pain, or fertility problems.
Ultrasound and MRI help show the number, size, and position of these masses.
Treatment depends on symptoms, bleeding, pain, fertility goals, and whether procedures or surgery are being considered.
This entry explains the condition. The next step is having a radiologist interpret your specific scan, not a general definition.
