They can be so tiny that you need a microscope to see them. However, they can also grow very big. They may fill the entire uterus, and may weigh several pounds. Although it is possible for just one fibroid to develop, usually there is more than one.Sometimes, a fibroid hangs from a long stalk, which is attached to the outside of the uterus.

This type of fibroid may require surgery.SymptomsSensation of fullness or pressure in lower abdomenPelvic cramping or pain with periodsAbdominal fullness, gasIncrease in urinary frequencyHeavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia), sometimes with the passage of blood clotsSudden, severe pain due to a pedunculated fibroid, incidence, and risk factors
