Common symptoms of fibroids(uterine leiomyomas) can vary in intensity and may include:
- Heavy Menstrual Bleeding: Menstrual periods with unusually heavy or prolonged bleeding can be a prominent symptom.
- Pelvic Pain: This pain can range from mild to severe and is often associated with a feeling of fullness or pressure in the lower abdomen.
- Pelvic Pressure: Fibroids can cause a sensation of fullness or pressure in the lower abdomen or pelvis.
- Frequent Urination: Enlarged fibroids can press against the bladder, leading to more frequent urination or a sense of urgency.
- Constipation or Difficulty with Bowel Movements: Large fibroids may press against the rectum, causing constipation or difficulty passing stools.
- Lower Backache: Some women with fibroids experience lower back pain or discomfort.
- Pain or Discomfort During Intercourse: Fibroids can sometimes lead to pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse.
- Enlarged Abdomen: In some cases, fibroids can cause the abdomen to enlarge, giving the appearance of pregnancy.
It’s important to note that not all women with fibroids will experience symptoms, and the severity of symptoms can vary widely. If you suspect you have fibroids or are experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s essential to consult with a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and to discuss treatment options.
