What are fibroid uterus symptoms? Uterine fibroid is the most common benign tumor of the uterus. It is the most common benign uterus tumor that originates from smooth muscle tissue, is variable in size, and is generally slow-growing. It occurs in most cases in women over 45, with a higher incidence in overweight or obese patients. We are here to share uterine fibroid symptoms, risks, and treatments.

Fibroid uterus symptoms

About 25% of white and 50% of black women develop symptomatic fibroid uterus symptoms. Fibroids also tend to grow in size in women of childbearing age as they respond to the influence of estrogen.

Uterine fibroid in menopause

Diagnosis of uterine fibroids is usually clinical by bimanual pelvic examination, which detects a uterus:

  • increased in size;
  • consistency;
  • With irregular edges.

The confirmation requires the execution of fibroid tests in particular if:

  • fibroids are a new finding;
  • have increased in size;
  • they cause symptoms;
  • They must differentiate from other pathologies (ovarian masses, malignant uterus tumors).

Transvaginal ultrasound and hysterosonography with saline infusion are generally performed in case of suspicion of intracavitary myomas. In case of suspected oncology or exceptional circumstances, pelvic magnetic resonance may be requested.

Finally, hysteroscopy can be used to visualize the suspected submucosal fibroid directly and, if necessary, to perform a biopsy or resection of small lesions.

Uterine fibroid symptoms:

In most cases, uterine fibroids are asymptomatic.

In the rare cases that uterine fibroid symptoms do occur, they can be:

  • increased flow during the menstrual cycle (hypermenorrhea);
  • abdominal pain and swelling of variable intensity;
  • constipation;
  • pain when urinating (dysuria);
  • urine outflow;
  • Pain during sexual intercourse.
  • In addition, fibroids can increase the risk of:
  • infertility as they can cause recurrent miscarriage;
  • contractions resulting in the threat of preterm birth;
  • Abnormal presentation of the fetus or require cesarean delivery.

Spotting after a period: when does it usually occur?

Spotting after a period or bleeding between periods occurs after the end of the menstrual period and before the beginning of the next. Abnormal vaginal or uterine blood loss at these intervals is called metrorrhagia. 

When spotting after a period occurs between regular periods, there are many possible causes, and other factors, such as the patient’s age, must be taken into account to assess the reasons. This is because young women can have irregular bleeding for reasons that, if it does not happen regularly, they should not be alarmed. Yes, it could be fibroids upon diagnosis.  It is essential not to ignore these uterine fibroid symptoms. If persistent bleeding occurs between regular cycles, we recommend you consult our specialist.

As we know, fibroids are non-cancerous growths that can cause swelling or dilation of the uterus. The size of these growths can vary from a few centimeters to several pounds. According to recent estimates, fibroids affect up to 80% of women, but they are small, and most women never know they have them. Women may experience uterine bleeding, back and pelvic pain, urinary problems, and pressure on the rectum and organs if fibroid uterus symptoms are present.

Depending on the location, fibroid uterus symptoms are:

  • Abdominal or pelvic pain
  • Hefty and painful menstrual bleeding
  • Sterility
  • Intestinal disorders
  • Pain in sexual intercourse

Other symptoms include:

  • Feeling pressure in the pelvis
  • Pain in the legs, abdomen, back, and pelvis
  • Pain during sex
  • Bloating
  • Constipation
  • Frequent need to urinate
  • Weight gain
  • Conception and pregnancy problems

How are fibroids treated?          

Treatment for uterine fibroids depends on how advanced the contagion is, the person’s general health, and their preferences.  

Anyone with irregular or heavy and painful periods, pain during intercourse, spotting after a period, or feeling fullness and pressure in the pelvis is advised to consult our specialist at the USA Fibroids Center. A consultant is best positioned to determine the cause of uterine fibroid symptoms and recommend appropriate treatments.
