What symptoms do fibroids cause?
Fibroids can cause many symptoms that are mainly in relation to their location. They may cause irregular bleeding if they are in the uterine cavity or the wall of the uterus. They can also affect fertility by decreasing pregnancy rates and increasing miscarriage rates but this only occurs if the fibroids are in the cavity of the uterus or very near it. If fibroids are very large, they can also cause problems with pelvic discomfort, difficulty with urination and bowel movements.
