Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths of the uterus that often appear during childbearing years. Common symptoms of uterine fibroids include heavy menstrual bleeding, which can lead to periods that are longer than usual. Many women also experience pelvic discomfort or a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen. As fibroids grow, they can exert pressure on the bladder, leading to frequent urination and sometimes difficulty in emptying the bladder fully. This pressure can also result in constipation if the fibroids press against the bowel. Some women may feel backache or leg pain, especially when the fibroids are large and press on pelvic nerves. Pain during in*******se is another symptom that women with fibroids might encounter. In cases where the fibroids are significantly large, there might be a noticeable swelling or protrusion in the lower abdomen. However, it's crucial to understand that the presence and severity of these symptoms often vary based on the size, number, and location of the fibroids, and not all women with fibroids will experience these symptoms.Need to talk to a doctor?📅 Schedule your appointment now📍 Get directions to our clinicRemember, you’re not alone in this journey! 💙 We’re here to help you every step of the way.
