I've been told that I have a fibroid on my ovary. What is a fibroid?

A fibroid is a benign tumor made up of muscle, blood vessels and fibrous tissue. It can grow in the uterus or ovaries. Fibroids are usually harmless but they can cause pain and discomfort. Treatment options may include medication to reduce symptoms, surgery to remove the fibroid, or uterine artery embolization (UAE).
