Understanding Fibroids
Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus. They are common among women of childbearing age and can vary in size and number. While some women may experience no symptoms, others can face significant discomfort and disruption to their daily lives. Common symptoms include:
Heavy or prolonged menstrual periods
Pelvic pain or pressure
Frequent urination
Difficulty emptying the bladder
Constipation
Backache or leg pain
