Explanation of Fibroid Tumors?

I was told I have a small one. What is usually the treatment for them? Do the get larger? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.

As far as I know it is cluster of tissues/fibre that get clumped together. Something like that. I had a small one in my breast and the doctor told me it was benign, not cancerous.
She gave me the option to get surgery and have it removed and I didn't, because it was benign.
I went to get it checked again a year later and it had grown much larger. I then got the surgery to remove it because it could have kept growing and that would have been uncomfortable and probably a more serious surgery.
I was told that they sometimes stay the same size and do not grow, but it is important to get regualar checkups.

Hi, there is a website( About.com: womens health )here they give you a full explanation of Fibroid Tumors. I hope it answers your questions.
