What is the difference between "uterine fibroid" and "uterine myoma" ? |
what is the difference between "uterine fibroid" and "uterine myoma" ? They're the same. well... my limited understanding is that a fibroid is fibrous tissue and a myoma... myo comes from the latin word meaning muscle which would mean the lump is in a muscle area or made up of muscle tissue. I am not sure, but I had a mass of uterine fibroids which were quite large so I had to have a hystectomy. I am so glad that I did as I was feeling so ill prior to the operation. I am now 10 weeks after op and am feeling better. They're the same, different names for same thing. uterine fibroid tumors ( myomas ) also know as uterine fibromas |
