Tomljanovic,30,also provided a link to the Cleveland Clinic website to offer an explanation for her procedure,for “all my girlies and men[too] who want to[should] learn more”.
That site defines uterine fibroids as a common type of non-cancerous tumour that can grow in,and on,a woman’s uterus.
Symptoms can include heavy menstrual bleeding,back pain,frequent urination,and pain during sex. Small fibroids often do not need treatment,but larger fibroids can require surgery or medication to remove them.
