Another popular search phrase – “pictures of fibroids”. I am hoping (one of these days) to figure a way to post the image I have of one of my fibroids. Acquired it after my Hysteroscopic Myomectomy. It actually shows where the doctor started shaving it down. Until then, here are a few sites to keep you occupied.
MayoClinic.com – How Fibroids Develop
Fibroids of multiple sizes (picture)
Fibroid locations (illustration)
MayoClinic.com – Signs and Symptoms
Degenerating fibroid (picture)
At MayoClinic.com, you can click the small thumbnail images to enlarge them.
Leiomyoma (Wikipedia)
Leiomyoma (fibroid) enucleated from a uterus (picture)
Notice the firm yet rubbery appearance.
Pictures of Fibroids (Flickr.com)
An interesting (dare I say, eclectic) assortment.
About Uterine Fibroids
MRI images of fibroids (scroll to the bottom of the page)

Yes. Definitely a goody. Please check out that Google link. Impressive images and also a good way to find other fibroid resources.
Thanks for the great addition.

hey, if you want to help make finding images easier, check out Google’s Image Labeller Game. It’s predicted that through this game all images indexed by Google will be accurately labelled within 2 months. Be warned, it’s strangely addictive.

Just what I needed. Another addiction.
This game is crazy and fun. A good distraction from any fibroid-related (or other) insanity. Check out the above link but the included warning is true. Thanks.

[...] After making a post over on my other blog about finding medical images and videos, I received a comment with a link to the Google Image Labeler. The commenter (salohcin) included a warning about the addictive nature of the “game”. What an understatement! [...]
