Many women are walking around with fibroids and do not even know it. This is because the symptoms can seem like regular menstrual or body issues. But the truth is, there are some early signs you should not ignore. Listening to your body can save you a lot of stress later.
One of the first red flags is unusually heavy menstrual bleeding. If your period lasts more than seven days or you find yourself changing pads very frequently because of how heavy the flow is, it could be more than just a heavy period. That is a sign worth paying attention to.
Another symptom is pelvic pressure or pain. You may feel like something is pressing down in your lower abdomen. Some women describe it as a dull ache that does not go away or as if something is sitting on their bladder.
