Fibroids are abnormal growths that develop in or on a woman’s uterus. Sometimes these tumors become quite large and cause severe abdominal pain and heavy periods.

Symptoms of fibroids may include:

Heavy bleeding between or during your periods that includes blood clots.

Pain in the pelvis or lower back.

Increased Urination.

Pressure or fullness in your lower abdomen.

Pain during intercourse.
