Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths made of muscle and connective tissue that develop in the uterus. These can lead to various symptoms, the most important of which is heavy menstruation. Heavy periods mean bleeding more than normal menstrual bleeding or the frequent passing of large clots during bleeding that can last longer than 7 days. Heavy and prolonged menstruation is medically known as menorrhagia. Other symptoms of uterine fibroids include prolonged periods, clots in the menstrual blood, menstrual cramps, pelvic pain, bleeding between periods, frequent urination, painful intercourse, back pain, leg pain, miscarriage and infertility.
There can be many reasons for heavy bleeding due to uterine fibroids. These include fibroids that can put pressure on the uterine lining or cause the growth of blood vessels, which tends to cause excessive bleeding. Fibroids can also disrupt the normal contraction of the uterus, which can lead to excessive bleeding. In addition, fibroids can cause an increase in certain hormones (prostaglandins), which can lead to heavy bleeding. Bleeding from fibroids depends on the location of fibroids. The fibroids that grow in the inner wall of the uterus usually cause the most severe bleeding. The bleeding can be so heavy that it interferes with daily activities. Heavy bleeding can lead to fatigue, dizziness, and anemia (a condition in which the blood does not have enough red blood cells to carry enough oxygen to the body’s tissues).
