Fibroids vs Cysts / What’s the difference?

Fibroids and ovarian cysts are both common conditions for women, however they differ greatly in composition and location. Fibroids are solid, non-cancerous muscle growths that develop in the uterus and can lead to heavy periods and pelvic pressure. Cysts are fluid-filled sacs that usually form in the ovaries, sometimes causing pain or discomfort. Fibroids are made of tissue, while cysts are filled with liquid.
