The 2 most common symptoms seen in patients with uterine fibroids are abnormal uterine bleeding and pressure symptoms. Abnormal uterine bleeding most often presents as increased menstrual flow and prolonged periods in patients with uterine fibroids and often leads to iron deficiency anemia. Excessive bleeding may also interfere with the patient’s daily activities. It is important to note that not all bleeding is caused by fibroids. Other causes of abnormal uterine bleeding should be ruled out first. The symptoms of uterine fibroid pressure often include abdominal discomfort, frequent urination, and difficulty in defecation.
