Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or on the uterus, often during a woman’s childbearing years. They can vary in size from as small as a seed to as large as a melon and can grow individually or in clusters. Research suggests that approximately 26 million<\/a> women in the United States between 15 and 50 years old have uterine fibroids with 60% showing symptoms.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
