10 Symptoms of Fibroids

Symptom #8: Swelling of the Abdomen
Another symptom that can occur with fibroids is an increase in the size of the abdomen. When fibroids become very large, they can actually create a visible swelling on the abdomen.
The swelling caused by very large fibroids can actually make it very difficult for a woman to get a thorough pelvic exam done, which can make it difficult to identify the size and location of these fibroids. Very large fibroids that have this much of an impact on the abdomen have also been shown to contribute to infertility.
