Myoma
Myoma is another word for a uterine fibroid, a benign smooth muscle growth in the uterus.
When to get help quickly: Prompt review is important if bleeding is very heavy, pain is severe, the abdomen is enlarging quickly, or the person feels weak, faint, or breathless from possible anaemia.
Common symptoms
Symptoms may include heavy periods, lower abdominal swelling, pelvic pain or pressure, back pain, passing urine often, constipation, or difficulty getting pregnant.
When imaging helps
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.
What radiology does
Ultrasound and MRI help show the number, size, and position of these masses.
What usually happens next
Treatment depends on symptoms, bleeding, pain, fertility goals, and whether procedures or surgery are being considered.
