Fibroids
Fibroids are common growths of the uterus that usually appear during one’s child-bearing years. They are not cancer, and rarely turn cancerous.
Symptoms can vary based on the location, size and number of fibroids. The most common symptoms include:
- Heavy or painful menstruation
- Long or frequent periods
- Pelvic pain
- Frequent urination
- Swollen abdomen
- Pain in stomach or lower back
- Pregnancy complications
More research on prevention is needed. There are both hormonal and minimally invasive surgical options available for treatment.
