Understanding Uterine Fibroids
Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus. These growths can vary in size and number and are most common in women of reproductive age. Although the exact cause of uterine fibroids is unknown, factors such as genetics, hormones, and lifestyle may contribute to their development. It is important to differentiate between asymptomatic fibroids, which may not require treatment, and symptomatic fibroids, which can significantly impact quality of life and necessitate medical intervention.
Symptoms of Uterine Fibroids
- Heavy Menstrual Bleeding: Excessive bleeding during menstruation, often with blood clots.
- Pelvic Pain and Pressure: Discomfort or a feeling of fullness in the lower abdomen.
