Fibroids that cause heavy bleeding can result in anemia, which is an inadequate number of red blood cells. Without treatment, anemia can lead to severe fatigue, heart failure, and poor immunity.
Uterine fibroids are the most common type of benign smooth muscle tumors found in women. These fibroids are abnormal growths in the uterus made up of muscle and connective tissue that commonly appear in the childbearing years of women.
Fibroids can be as small as the grape seed or as big as the grapefruit itself and in very rare cases they can develop in large sizes as well. They can grow as one single tumour or as multiple ones right at the same time in the uterus. Though these fibroids are non-cancerous, they can develop into large tissues inside the uterus and can cause heavy periods, abdominal pain and other reproductive problems.
