Understanding Fibroids

Depending on their location and size, fibroids can cause various symptoms. Treatment options for fibroids vary depending on their size and location.

Fibroids are balls of smooth muscle. They can grow on your uterus and can cause symptoms like:

• abnormal bleeding

• pelvic pain

• painful sex

• infertility

If you are experiencing any of the symptoms and think you may have fibroids, please see a gynecologist and get it checked out! You can schedule an appointment with me, Dr. Cheruba Prabakar, at Lamorinda Gynecology & Surgery.
