Uterine fibroids, also known as uterine leiomyomas or fibroids, are benign smooth muscle tumors of the uterus.Most women have no symptoms while others may have painful or heavy periods.If large enough, they may push on the bladder causing a frequent need to urinate.They may also cause pain during sex or lower back pain.A woman can have one uterine fibroid or many.Occasionally, fibroids may make it difficult to become pregnant, although this is uncommon.

The exact cause of uterine fibroids is unclear.However, fibroids run in families and appear to be partly determined by hormone levels.Risk factors include obesity and eating red meat. Diagnosis can be performed by pelvic examination or medical imaging.
