Fibroids

Symptoms and When to Seek Care

Many women with fibroids notice no symptoms at all, and the growths are often discovered incidentally during a routine scan. When symptoms do occur, they can include heavy or prolonged periods, pelvic pressure or pain, frequent urination, or discomfort during intercourse. The size, number, and location of fibroids largely determine whether symptoms appear and how noticeable they are.

If you experience unusually heavy bleeding, persistent pelvic discomfort, or pressure that affects your daily activities, it is worth consulting a gynaecologist for an evaluation, since timely assessment helps determine whether monitoring or treatment is the right next step for you.
