Fibroids & Bleeding Abnormalities
Uterine fibroids may be connected to bleeding abnormalities. One of the most common uterine fibroids symptoms reported by women is excessive menstrual bleeding, medically termed menorrhagia.Some bleeding abnormalities caused by uterine fibroids include:
- Heavy menstrual bleeding with fibroids
- Prolonged duration of menstrual bleeding - longer than 6 days
- Bleeding from fibroids between periods
- Frequent periods - more often than every 24 days
- Irregular / unpredictable periods
Fibroids Bleeding
Bleeding abnormalities are not exclusive to uterine fibroids and may indicate another condition, but women with a diagnosis of uterine fibroids report bleeding problems 2-3 times more frequently than women without a diagnosis of uterine fibroids.
Many women with excessive menstrual bleeding mistakenly assume that their heavy periods are normal and do not seek care.⁴ In some women, excessive bleeding can be severe enough to cause iron-deficiency anemia. Fibroids and anemia can lead to fatigue, weakness, headaches, dizziness, and other more severe complications. Other women experience day-to-day discomfort, social isolation, and loss of productivity due to managing heavy periods.
