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 of them.
The alkaline solution, which is often called lye (although the term lye soap refers almost exclusively to soaps made with sodium hydroxide), brings about a chemical reaction known as saponification.
