Fibroids

Fibroids are common and often manageable. Evaluation can clarify whether they’re contributing to bleeding, pain, or pressure.

Overview

Fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the uterus that can cause heavy or prolonged bleeding, clots, pelvic pressure, urinary frequency, or anemia. Some people have fibroids without symptoms. Imaging helps determine size and location.

Common Symptoms

  • Heavy bleeding or clots
  • Periods lasting longer than 7 days
  • Pelvic pressure or fullness
  • Frequent urination
  • Low iron/anemia symptoms
  • Pain or cramping
