What Are Uterine Fibroids?

Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop from the muscle tissue of the uterus. They can vary in size, number and location. Some women have a single fibroid, while others may have several fibroids of different sizes.

Fibroids may develop within the wall of the uterus, project into the uterine cavity or grow on the outer surface of the uterus. Some women have no symptoms and may discover fibroids during a routine examination or imaging test, while others experience heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain or pressure symptoms.

The effect of fibroids varies from woman to woman, so treatment decisions should be based on individual symptoms, fibroid characteristics and reproductive goals.

When Should You Seek Medical Care?

Heavy Periods

Very heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding can be a symptom of fibroids and may contribute to anemia.

Pelvic Pain or Pressure

Persistent pelvic discomfort, abdominal heaviness or pressure should be evaluated, particularly when symptoms interfere with daily activities.

Frequent Urination

Larger fibroids may press against the bladder and cause increased urinary frequency or difficulty emptying the bladder.

Bowel Symptoms

Pressure from fibroids can sometimes contribute to constipation or difficulty with bowel movements.

Enlarged Abdomen

A larger fibroid or multiple fibroids may increase the size of the uterus and cause abdominal fullness or swelling.

Fertility Concerns

Women experiencing difficulty becoming pregnant may benefit from evaluation to determine whether fibroids or another condition could be contributing.

Heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pain should not simply be accepted as normal. A gynecological assessment can help determine whether fibroids or another condition may be responsible for your symptoms.

Benefits of Fibroid Treatment

Not every fibroid requires treatment. Small fibroids that cause no symptoms may simply be monitored. When treatment is needed, the appropriate option depends on factors such as symptoms, fibroid size and location, age and whether future pregnancy is desired.

Control Heavy Bleeding

Treatment can help manage heavy menstrual bleeding and reduce its effect on everyday life.

Relieve Pain and Pressure

Appropriate treatment may help reduce pelvic discomfort, menstrual pain and pressure symptoms.

Medical Management

Depending on the situation, medicines may be used to help control bleeding or other symptoms.

Myomectomy

Myomectomy removes fibroids while preserving the uterus and may be considered for selected women, including some women who wish to preserve fertility.

Hysteroscopic or Laparoscopic Surgery

Depending on the location and size of the fibroid, minimally invasive approaches such as hysteroscopy or laparoscopy may be appropriate for selected patients.

Your gynecologist can discuss the benefits, risks and suitability of different treatment options based on your symptoms and reproductive plans.

A pelvic examination may identify an enlarged uterus or other findings. Ultrasound is commonly used to assess the uterus and fibroids. Other tests, including hysteroscopy or additional imaging, may be considered depending on the situation.

Can fibroids be treated without surgery?

Yes. Depending on the patient's symptoms and circumstances, medications may help control heavy bleeding or painful periods. The appropriate treatment should be discussed with a gynecologist.

What is a myomectomy?

A myomectomy is a surgical procedure that removes fibroids while leaving the uterus in place. It may be an option for selected women who wish to preserve their uterus or fertility.

Can fibroids affect fertility?

Fibroids can be associated with infertility in some women, although there can be many other causes of difficulty becoming pregnant. A fertility evaluation can help determine the likely cause.

Do fibroids become smaller after menopause?

Fibroids often become smaller when estrogen levels decrease around menopause, although this does not happen in every woman.

Can fibroids come back after treatment?

New fibroids can develop after a myomectomy, even though the fibroids that were removed do not grow back. Your doctor can discuss the possibility of recurrence and appropriate follow-up.
