Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyoma, are non-cancerous tumors that develop in a woman’s uterus. These fibroids can vary in size, from as small as an apple seed to as large as a grapefruit. While not life- threatening, the symptoms and potential complications of these fibroids can have a significant impact on a patient’s health and overall quality of life.
Fibroids go undiscovered in most patients due to the lack of symptoms accompanying them. However, some patients will experience varying symptoms, including:
➡️ Frequent urination
➡️ Lower back pain
➡️ Pain during sexual in*******se
➡️ Enlargement of the lower abdomen
➡️ Heavy and/or painful menstruation, sometimes resulting in anemia
➡️ Increased risk of complications during pregnancy
➡️ Infertility (in severe cases)
