And how do you treat it?

Well, one of the things that you... should have been you should have been imaged earlier in your journey it's fine to do a history you have to have a history you have to listen to the patient listen about their symptoms and it's important to do a physical exam because you can feel these fibroids typically fibroids are hard and firm they're like rocks they're made of smooth muscle and fibrous tissue and so the gynecologist will do a bimanual exam and and often feel these things sometimes the woman can feel them particularly if they're out in front They can feel them.

And so that's an important part.

But right after history and physicals should come imaging.

And usually it's an ultrasound.

An ultrasound, while it's not the highest resolution tool available, almost every gynecologist has one in their office.

So at least it can provide confirmation that that's what we're dealing with.

Explain how research works, because I think for the common person who's not in the health care industry, they don't understand how certain things get researched as opposed to others.
