Re: what the heck is a fibroid? From: Kristina (anonymous@obgyn.net) Thu Feb 24 15:24:58 2005 Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Lynnette: "Re: Medication & Epilepsy" Previous message: rachel: "Re: bleeding after sex" In reply to: tc: "what the heck is a fibroid?" Hi there... Fibroids are (non cancerous)smooth muscle tumors of the uterus. They can grow at different points of the uterus, They can grow on the outside on a stalk, in the muscle, or in the inside of the uterus. From what I know about them they are not a precurser to any kind of cancer, they just happen from estrogen growth and a few other things. Hope this helps. Feel free to contact me offlist if you would like...I have a fibroid that is just being monitored right now, glad you had yours removed before It got too big. -- Kristina At Thu, 24 Feb 2005, tc wrote: > >I just had a lap on the 22nd and during the procedure I guess they >removed a fibroid tumor from somewhere...of course I can't remember from >where because I was sorta dazed when they told me.
