What is cervical leiomyoma?

Cervical myomas are smooth, benign tumors in the cervix. A cervical myoma may bleed, become infected, interfere with urinating, or cause pain during sexual intercourse. Doctors can see or feel most myomas during a pelvic examination. Myomas that cause symptoms can be removed surgically.
