what's is a growth like that in the womb all about? what risks are presented by such an existance? can it be ignored?
GynaeDoc
It is a growth of the muscle of the uterus. It can cause heavy periods and can press on adjacent structures if it is big. If it is less than 5 cm and you have no symptoms, you probably don't need anything done at the moment.
