- While these muscular growths are mostly benign, some uterine fibroids can be disruptive. Pelvic pain and heavy bleeding during menstruation could be symptoms of fibroids. Learn more about uterine fibroid symptoms and contact your doctor if you are experiencing similar symptoms.
- If you or your doctor suspects that you have uterine fibroids, there are a variety of tests and treatments available to diagnose and address the growths. Learn more about your fibroid treatment options, including medications and surgery, with this health guide from the US National Library of Medicine.
