What are the signs and symptoms of the condition?

Some women have no symptoms with uterine fibroids. Symptoms depend on the number, size, and location of fibroids. Some of the common symptoms are as follows:

  • anemia, or a low red blood cell count, from heavy bleeding
  • bleeding between periods
  • dyspareunia, or painful intercourse
  • frequent urination, caused by tumor pressure on the bladder
  • heavy or prolonged menstruation
  • pain or pressure in the lower abdomen or lower back
