Question:

Answers:
the correct word for fibroid is leiomyoma, this is a benign (not malignant) tumor ot the uterus (the womb). they call it a fibroid cuz on microscopic appearance it looks like its made of connective tissue but actually its made of smooth muscle. these are just some of the different types of tissues in your body. this type of tumor is usually hormone sensitive....meaning it will increase in size during pregnancy. the treatment is usually surgical removal.

Other Answers:
i've had fiborids before and abdomen was swollen. it looked like I was always bloated. Check with a doctor.

Fibroids are something that build up in the uterus, ovaries, or fallopian tubes. Having this condition does that mean that a woman is pregnant.

It is a type of cyst. You can get them in your uterus or in your breasts. Depending on the size and location the person may appear bloated but usually you can not tell from looking at the person.

Fiboid tumor is a benign tumor made of fibers in the uterus. It can cause spontaneous abortion as the fetus needs room to grow. Its growth may be suppressed by pregancy hormones. Have the person see a Gynecologist right away!!
