Fibroids, benign (non-cancerous) tumors found in or around the uterus wall, are common in women over 30 and can range from pea-size to as large as a grapefruit. Approiximately 20 to 25 per cent of all women have fibroids.
For more information on fibroids visit the Women's Health Matters website.
You may also want to discuss your options with your family doctor. If your doctor thinks it's appropriate to refer you to BC Women's, and they don't already have a referal form, they can call the Women's Health Centre at 604-875-3060 to request one. |
