What are some of the key symptoms of Fibroids?

Fibroids are hard and firm tumors made up of smooth muscle and fibrous tissue. They cause the above listed symptoms based on where they are located in the uterus.

Fibroids that are located on the outer part of the uterus press on pelvic nerves to cause pain.
