Interventional Radiologist Dr Naveen Chandrashekhar explains that uterine fibroids, or leiomyomas, are non-cancerous tumours affecting up to 80% of women by age 50. Contributing factors include hormonal imbalances and genetic predisposition. Symptoms may involve heavy bleeding and pelvic discomfort. Treatment options range from medication and surgery to innovative techniques like UFE and MRgFUS.
