Can fibroids cause infertility?

Dr Sarah Jarvis, membre de l’Ordre de l’Empire britannique

A fibroid is a non-cancerous (benign) growth of the womb (uterus). They are also called uterine myomas, fibromyomas or leiomyomas. Their size can vary. Some are the same size as a pea and some can be as big as a melon. Fibroids can increase in size, decrease in size or even go away with time.
