Uterine leiomyomata are common, benign, smooth muscle tumors of the uterus. They are found in nearly half of women over age 40 and infrequently cause problems such as heavy menstrual flow, bleeding between periods, pain, infertility, pelvic pressure and stress urinary incontinence. Synonyms include fibroids and myomas.
