Uterine fibroids are benign tumors of the uterus.  They are not cancers,  but can cause symptoms such as excessive bleeding during or between periods, pressure on the bladder or rectum, discomfort during sexual relations or interference with fertility.  Symptoms from fibroids, the most common of which is excessive bleeding, can be anywhere from mild to disabling.
