The book is divided into several chapters that cover different aspects of intrauterine fibroids, including their causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options.

Throughout the book, Sims draws on his extensive clinical experience to provide detailed descriptions of the various types of fibroids and their effects on the reproductive system. He also includes case studies and patient histories to illustrate the challenges and successes of treating intrauterine fibroids.
