The two primary symptoms of uterine fibroids are an abnormally heavy period and pelvic pain. You should contact your doctor if either of these occurs and is persistent, unbearable, or unwavered by medication. In addition, if you are losing excessive amounts of blood, you may risk anemia, in which your blood is not effectively delivering oxygen to tissues. If you are looking to become pregnant and have fibroids, you should meet with your doctor to determine if the condition has caused infertility. Also, if you are pregnant and have fibroids, you should speak with your doctor and see if treatment is an option or if waiting is best.
