Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that form in or on the uterus, varying in size and number. While MRI scans showed the patient had seven fibroids, the surgical team encountered an unexpected challenge. "As we operated, fibroids began appearing in large numbers," explained Dr. Prabha Agrawal, a gynecologist at Care Hospitals, Hitec City.
Uterine fibroids are benign tumors that commonly develop in women during their childbearing years. The rising incidence of these fibroids has become a significant gynecological concern among young women in the country, though the exact cause remains unclear. Genetics and certain lifestyle factors are often linked to the condition.
