Campus Construction Update

Starting September 14, we’re closing the Menino building lobby entrance. This, along with the ongoing Yawkey building entrance closure, will help us bring you an even better campus experience that matches the exceptional care you've come to expect. Please enter the Menino and Yawkey buildings through the Moakley building, and make sure to leave extra time to get to your appointment. Thank you for your patience.

Fibroids

Select your language:

Fibroids are common, non-cancerous growths that can appear in the uterus and most often do so in a woman’s childbearing years. Fibroids come in all sizes and can grow quickly or remain small, and though there are not always symptoms, sometimes heavy bleeding or a very long menstrual cycle are a sign fibroids are present. Though there is not a known cause other than being a woman of childbearing age, fibroids are known to be hereditary (run in families).
