Question

what is uterine fibroid

Answer 1

Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths of the uterus that often appear during childbearing years. Sometimes these tumors become quite large and cause severe abdominal pain and heavy periods

Many women have uterine fibroids sometime during their lives. But most women don't know they have uterine fibroids because they often cause no symptoms. Most fibroids do not cause any symptoms, but some women with fibroids can have:

- Heavy bleeding (which can be heavy enough to cause anemia) or painful periods

- Feeling of fullness in the pelvic area (lower stomach area)

- Enlargement of the lower abdomen

- Frequent urination

- Pain during sex

- Lower back pain

- Complications during pregnancy and labor

Your gynecologist may discover fibroids incidentally during a pelvic exam or prenatal ultrasound. For the treatment, there's no single best approach to uterine fibroid treatment — many treatment options exist. If you have symptoms, talk with Gynecologist in Indore about options for symptom relief.
