Uterine leiomyoma refers to uterine fibroids, which are benign tumors formed by the proliferation of smooth muscle tissue in the uterus. Contributing factors include genetics, hormones, and stem cells. Uterine fibroids commonly occur in women aged 30 to 50. They may be asymptomatic or cause noticeable symptoms such as menstrual abnormalities, increased vaginal discharge, and lower abdominal discomfort.
