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
