10 Symptoms of Uterine Fibroids
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #9: Heavy Menstrual Bleeding
The menstrual cycle tends to be different for different women, with some experiencing lighter or heavier flows than others. It is still likely to remain about the same for each person month after month, though, although this can also vary somewhat. If your menstrual flow feels particularly heavier than usual, however, it could be a sign of uterine fibroids.
It is because of heavy bleeding that most women find out they have uterine fibroids as it encourages them to go in for a check-up. The condition can also cause clotting to appear in the flow, which is unusual regardless of how heavy the flow might be.
