*Organs directly affected by Fibroids*
_Uterus_ : The most common location, as fibroids are muscular tumors that grow in or on the uterine wall, lining, or cervix.
_Bladder_ : Large fibroids can press on the bladder, leading to a frequent or urgent need to urinate.
_Bowel/Rectum_ : Pressure on the bowels can cause constipation, painful bowel movements, or bloating.
_Kidneys_ : In some cases, fibroids can put pressure on the ureters (tubes that connect the kidneys to the bladder), which can lead to kidney damage if not addressed.
*Other affected areas*
_Abdomen_ : Large fibroids can cause a feeling of fullness or bloating by pressing on the stomach or other abdominal organs.
_Back_ : Pressure on the lower back can cause pain.
