FAQS: What do
Ovarian Cysts and Uterine Fibroids look like?
The following photos are actual Ovarian Cysts and Uterine Fibroids
photos taken during surgery.
Ovarian Cysts
Ovarian Cysts are filled with
fluid, similar to a blister. They
are located on/in the Ovary, which is an organ that produces a follicle
(egg) every month for the ovulation and menstrual cycles. The two
(2) Ovaries are located on the left and the right side of the Uterus. (Photos

Uterine Fibroids
Uterine fibroids
are benign tumors of the uterus. They are not cancers, but can
cause symptoms such as excessive bleeding during or between periods,
pressure on the bladder or rectum, discomfort during sexual relations or
interference with fertility. Symptoms from fibroids, the most common
of which is excessive bleeding, can be anywhere from mild to disabling.
