Uterine leiomyoma is the most common type of a pelvic tumor in females. Women over the age of 30 are most likely affected by fibroids. The fibroid's growth depends on the amount of estrogen in the body. Symptoms of uterine fibroids are gas, constipation, bleeding in between a period, urinary frequency, pain at time of sex, cram,ping, and heavy menstrual bleeding. Ultrasound is the first diagnostic tool used to determine if there is a fibroid. Often times MR is used.
