What are the symptoms of fibroid?

Expert answer:

The signs and symptoms of myoma may include pelvic pain (lower belly), longer menstrual period and increased bleeding during menstruation. However, about half of the women who have fibroids usually have no symptoms.

The manifestations of myoma depend on the amount of fibroids present in the uterus, as well as on the size and location of the fibroids in the uterine cavity.

Menstrual changes, with more intense and prolonged periods, can cause cramps, pain during sexual intercourse and even provoke anemia due to the loss of blood.

Also common is the occurrence of bleeding from leaks, which are blood loss out of the menstrual period.

Myoma symptoms may also include increased urinary frequency (urge to urinate) and urinary infections such as cystitis (bladder infection), urethritis (infection of the urethra), and nephritis (kidney infection).

The diagnosis of fibroid can be made through routine gynecological examination and confirmed by ultrasound.

Treatment for myoma may include the use of specific medications to control growth, oral contraceptives, or surgery. In more severe cases, it may be necessary to remove the uterus (hysterectomy).

In case of myoma symptoms, consult a gynecologist.
