When we speak of a myoma in gynaecology, we are generally talking about benign hormone-sensitive tumours. Incidentally, the term myoma comes from the famous doctor Rudolf Virchow, who lectured on myomas as early as 1863.

In general, fibroids develop during the fertile phase of a woman's life, i.e. no fibroids occur more in a growing form before puberty and after the menopause.

The majority of women with a fibroid do not have any symptoms or complaints. About 12-25% of women of childbearing age have fibroids.

Only 0.1% of myomas degenerate into a malignant tumour.

Depending on the location of the fibroids, a distinction is made between the following types:
- fibroids that bulge towards the uterine cavity (so-called submucous fibroids, type 0-3),
- fibroids inside the uterine wall (spg. intramural fibroids, type 3-6) and
- fibroids that protrude towards the abdominal cavity (so-called subserous fibroids, type 7).
