What Causes Heavy Periods with Fibroids?

Fibroids are non-cancerous growths that develop in or on the uterus, and they are often associated with heavy periods. When fibroids grow, they can interfere with the normal functioning of the uterus, causing heavy menstrual bleeding and abnormal periods. These symptoms can significantly impact your daily life and lead to other complications such as anemia.

Symptoms of Fibroids and Heavy Bleeding

If you are experiencing heavy periods, the following symptoms may be associated with fibroids:

Prolonged menstrual bleeding lasting more than 7 days

What Our Patients Are Saying

Dr. E is attentive, knowledgable, and kind. She directed her questions to the patient, my elderly mother-in-law, not to me - a sign of respect not always seen with elderly patients. My only complaint about our experience is that we were not called with a prescription to treat her UTI when the lab results came back positive. Her daughter, a physician, had to call to ask about it after seeing the labs.
