Intra-uterine fibroid(s) is often detected in about 20–40% of women in the 35 to 50 years bracket. As they progress into menopause, the fibroids tend to dry out. Often, there is no pain despite the growth of fibroids in the uterus.
When large in size and/or many in number, these fibroids begin to cause discomfort, gradually leading to intense pain. Intra-uterine fibroids are almost unseen or are “silent players”; it, therefore, becomes difficult to know if certain pains around the abdominal and pelvic regions of the body are caused by these unwanted growths.
Knowing the symptoms associated with such painful conditions will help decide if uterine fibroid growths are causative agents. This, in turn, will enable early treatment. While the growth of uterine fibroids is not cancerous, their presence, nonetheless, can be a source of constant irritation and considerable physical discomfort.
The symptoms become more severe as the fibroids continue to grow in size as well as increase in number. Early diagnosis will enable the sufferer to take steps to stop further growth and, ultimately try and heal herself from the scourge that is intra-uterine fibroids.
Some of the more important symptoms of intrauterine fibroids are:
Abnormal Bleeding:
The presence of fibroids is associated with blockage of normal menstrual activity. The uterus gets clogged. When the clog ‘gives way’, heavy bleeding is noticed. Repetition of such heavy bleeding, especially prolonged bleeding, is a sure sign of the presence of fibroids.
It is not uncommon to experience such bleeding between normal menstrual cycles. The patient should be aware of the possibility of anemia in case of excessive bleeding.
Pain in the Pelvic Region:
The presence of uterine fibroid(s) is recognized by the body to be foreign, unwanted material; naturally, the body tries to eliminate the fibroid growth. This causes pain in the pelvic region. The pain is exacerbated as the fibroid growth build pressure against the wall of the uterus. Also, in severe cases, pain can extend to the legs too!
Frequent Urination:
The pressure exerted by fibroids against the uterus also affects the urinary bladder. As the fibroids grow larger, the patient experiences the urge to urinate frequently. To make matters worse, despite this urge, the flow of urine may slow down as the fibroid problem assumes a serious proportion. This situation can arise when the presence of fibroids is not diagnosed early enough.
Pregnancy:
Pregnancy is not normally affected by the presence of intrauterine fibroids; however, fertility problem, if any, which is accompanied by other symptoms mentioned in this article should help confirm the presence of fibroids in the uterus.
The above symptoms are often accompanied by emotional problems (stress, mood swings, depression due to hesitation to discuss uterus-related issues, etc) which are primary outcomes of the discomforts and pains. Thus, such emotional changes should not be ignored; look at the changes in light of other symptoms.
Knowing the symptoms elicited above, it will not be difficult to diagnose if a problem is due to the presence of intrauterine fibroids. In such an event, it would be prudent to consult your doctor first.
Next, empower yourself with as much knowledge as possible about your condition and possible treatments. Discuss them with your doctor.
