Fibroids Q & A

What are uterine fibroids?

Uterine fibroids are abnormal growths that develop in your uterus. Uterine fibroids can grow inside the uterine wall or uterine cavity.

What are some symptoms of uterine fibroids?

Uterine fibroids are often asymptomatic. If you do experience symptoms, they might include:

  • Heavy menstrual bleeding
  • Periods that last longer than a week
  • Trouble emptying your bladder
  • Constipation
  • Pelvic pain or pressure
  • Frequent need to urinate
  • Back or leg pain

Why seek treatment for uterine fibroids?

If fibroids are causing heavy bleeding during your menstrual cycle, you may want to seek treatment, as excessive menstrual bleeding can contribute to anemia.

How are uterine fibroids treated?

Treatment and management plans are developed based on size, location, and symptoms related to fibroids. To explore these and other treatment options, book an appointment with Dr. Martinez, either using the easy online scheduling tool or by phone.
