Heavy periods aren't something you should just "live with."

If your period is affecting your daily life, it could be a sign of uterine fibroids—non-cancerous growths that develop in or around the uterus. They're incredibly common, and while many people never have symptoms, others experience symptoms that can interfere with their everyday life.

Symptoms of fibroids can include:

Heavy, longer, painful, or more frequent periods
Bleeding between periods
Pain during sex
Feeling “full” in your lower belly
Abdominal pain or lower back pain
Anemia (low red blood cell count) from blood loss
Urinating frequently or having trouble urinating
Constipation or rectal pain

The good news? Fibroids are almost always benign, and effective treatments are available. Not everyone needs surgery, and your care team can help determine the best option based on your symptoms and goals.
