Fibroid: A common benign tumor of the uterus. Fibroids can be present without symptoms. However, in about 25 percent of women, fibroids cause symptoms such as prolonged or heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure or pain, and, in rare cases, reproductive dysfunction.
Fibroid tumors are composed of renegade muscle cells that come together to form a fibrous knot or mass within the uterus. Although all uterine fibroids are the same, they are categorized based on their location: 1  Submucosal fibroids are located just under the uterine lining. 2  Intramural fibroids lie between the muscles of the uterine wall. 3  Subserol fibroids extend from the uterine wall into the pelvic cavity.
