A generation ago, the procedure was not as perfected, and women were not given this option for so-called female problems. These symptoms may not need immediate investigation. You may observe and record them. Fibroid tumors are noncancerous growths appearing in and on the uterus. Some even grow out from the uterine wall on a stalk.
Fibroids can cause chronic pain and heavy bleeding.
Polyps, like fibroids, are noncancerous growths and are a common cause of irregular bleeding. Polyps and fibroids can have symptoms that resemble other, more serious causes of bleeding. It is, of course, important to detect cancer in its earliest, most curable stages. One situation is an incomplete miscarriage or even full-term delivery when, for some reason, the uterus has not pushed out all the fetal or placental tissue inside of it. If tissue is left behind, excess bleeding can result, perhaps even life threatening bleeding.
