2. Abdominal pain

Uterine fibroid bleeding can cause abdominal pain symptoms, the degree of pain will vary depending on the size and location of the uterine fibroids. Some patients will experience cyclical abdominal pain, similar to the feeling of menstrual cramps.

Bleeding from uterine fibroids can cause the uterus to enlarge, compress surrounding tissues, and cause symptoms such as frequent urination and constipation. Sometimes, there will be back pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen.

For mild uterine fibroid bleeding, oral medications can be used to control symptoms, such as some drugs that promote uterine contraction, or drugs used to reduce menstrual volume. However, it should be noted that drug treatment can only relieve symptoms, not cure them.

For more severe symptoms of uterine fibroid bleeding, or with other complications, surgical treatment may be required. Surgery can choose to remove the uterine fibroids, or remove the entire uterus.
