Fibroids  
What are the symptoms that can be caused by fibroids?


Some of the possible symptoms that can be caused by fibroids are as follows:
  • Increased uterine bleeding — This can mean both longer and/or heavier periods
  • Pelvic pressure and pain — The larger the fibroid is, the more likely that it will cause these types of symptoms.
  • Frequent urination or difficulty emptying the bladder - this would be only if the locaton of the firoid was pressing on the bladder.
  • Constipation - if located near the rectum
  • Painful intercourse - especially if located near the cervix
  • Abdominal Pain - in rare cases, fibroids can cause sudden and severe pain if the fibroid begins to break down (degenerate) or twist.
  • Problems with pregnancy and fertility — In women with very large fibroids, or one's located in the cavity oif the uterus, there might be some difficulty in getting pregnant, carrying a pregnancy, or other complications such as breech presentation, premature rupture of membranes, premature labor, and placental abruption
