FAQ: Are fibroids a type of cancer?

The simple answer is no ❌ Fibroids are benign (non-cancerous) growths made up of muscle tissue that develop in the uterus. While most fibroids don’t require treatment, larger ones can significantly impact quality of life by causing heavy menstrual bleeding, pain, and reproductive issues. At the MIC Radiology Group, we offer a procedure called Uterine Fibroid Embolisation (UFE), to effectively treat fibroids without the need for invasive surgery. If you would like to learn more about UFE, please visit our website for more details.
