Gynecology Some have pain and heavy menstrual bleeding. Fibroids also can put pressure on the bladder, causing frequent urination, or the rectum, causing rectal pressure. Should the fibroids get very large, they can cause the abdomen (stomach area) to enlarge, making a woman look pregnant. If the fibroids are large, a woman may need a hysterectomy that involves cutting into the abdomen to remove the uterus. 2  If the fibroids are smaller, the doctor may be able to reach the uterus through the vagina, instead of making a cut in the abdomen. 3  In some cases hysterectomy can be performed through the laparoscope.

Rarely, a fibroid can cause acute pain when it outgrows its blood supply, and begins to die. Fibroids are generally classified by their location. Intramural fibroids grow within the muscular uterine wall. Submucosal fibroids bulge into the uterine cavity. Subserosal fibroids project to the outside of the uterus. Some subserosal or submucosal fibroids are pedunculated — they hang from a stalk inside or outside the uterus. Many women who have fibroids don't have any symptoms.

Symptoms of Uterine Fibroids If you have any of these symptoms, treatment beyond iron pills should be considered. Please visit: http://www.gynsecondopinion.com/period.htm for more information. Can Fibroids Cause Pain or Pressure? A normal size uterus lies below the pubic bone, well down in the pelvis. It is just under the bladder, just above the rectum, and surrounded by the intestines. Since it is so near to these other organs, growth of the uterus from fibroids may cause pressure or, rarely, pain in the pelvis. The uterus is normally about the size of a small pear and weighs less than one-quarter of a pound. But with fibroids, the uterus will enlarge and can cause an awareness of fullness or pressure. If the fibroids grow toward your back, pressure on the rectum can cause constipation. You may also feel pressure or pain in the lower back or discomfort with activity or intercourse.

Fibroids And Weight Gain The location of fibroids is just as important as size when it comes to determining fibroids symptoms. For example a 7cm fibroid which sits directly over the bladder can cause an annoying need to urinate at all hours. Whereas a 7cm fibroid directly over the uterus is more likely to cause stomach bloating.A small fibroid (2cm) inside the uterus can cause heavy periods and anemia, whereas a larger fibroid (7cm) outside the uterus wall will cause no extra bleeding.nother factor in the relationship of weight gain and fibroids is that fibroids can cause heavy bleeding (menorrhagia) and/or irregular periods with prolonged menstrual cycles (oligomenorrhea). This in turn can cause anemia and lethargy due to loss of blood and reduced iron levels.
