What are the most common symptoms of fibroids?
Most women who have fibroids have no symptoms and don’t need any therapy. Others may notice a greater than normal amount of menstrual flow, more menstrual pain or cramping, and/or blood clots. In addition, a fibroid uterus can cause irregular bleeding in between normal periods. Heavy menstrual bleeding from fibroids can contribute to iron deficiency anemia. Your gynecologist will want to make sure there are no other causes of anemia.
