If you are a women in your 30’s or 40’s, then there’s a decent chance that you could develop fibroids, benign tumors that grow in the uterine wall. Although these tumors are rather common, they’re often small and aren’t often problems.
However, some symptoms of fibroid cysts can develop in uncommon cases. Women whose fibroids do cause them problems need to undergo uterine fibroid treatments to have the issues resolved, as the signs and symptoms of fibroids can be rather severe.
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms of fibroid cysts, you should speak to your doctor about the uterine fibroids treatment options available to you.
Abnormal Menstrual Bleeding.
One of the most common symptoms of fibroid cysts is an abnormal amount of menstrual bleeding. Both prolonged and heavy, fibroids can cause women to soak through their sanitary protection in just one hour, and — on the days of heaviest flow — can prevent women from even being able to leave the house. Of all the different symptoms of fibroid cysts, this can be considered one of the worst, because it can lead to the development of anemia, which can cause fatigue, weakness, irregular heartbeat, shortness of breath, dizziness, cognitive problems, headache, and more.
Pain During Intercourse.
Depending on the size of the fibroids and where it is that they develop, they may wind up causing pain during intercourse. It may only occur at certain times of the month, or it may only occur in certain positions, but it can happen. Medical experts agree, this is one of the most problematic symptoms of fibroid cysts, and any woman experiencing it needs to seek out medical counsel straightaway.
Bathroom Issues.
Fibroids can even cause women to have bathroom issues, as some of the symptoms of fibroid cysts include rectal pressure, and bladder problems. Some fibroids can grow large enough in certain areas to cause feelings of rectal fullness, difficulty having bowel movements, and also hemorrhoids. They can also make women need to urinate frequently, which can be particularly frustrating, as this may occur in the night.
These are just some of the worst symptoms of fibroid cysts. If you have any questions about them, feel free to ask in the comments, or speak to your doctor.
