Although rare, fibroids can cause infertility.

Myomas, which are generally benign masses, arise from the muscular layer of the uterus. Fibroids that do not cause any complaints are very common in women and are detected incidentally during routine gynecological examinations. Fibroids can be a problem due to their size, number and location.

Dr. Özlen Emekçi Özay said, "Despite this, fibroids that cause significant complaints, affect fertility, or that can be confused with cancer or similar malignant tumors require surgical treatment," said Özlen Emekçi Özay.
