Yes, uterine fibroids can cause heavy menstrual bleeding.
- Fibroids may alter uterine contractions and increase the uterine lining's surface area, leading to more bleeding.
-
Monitor Symptoms:
- Look for signs like quickly soaking through pads/tampons, large clots, or fatigue from blood loss.
-
Consult a Gynecologist:
- Discuss symptoms with a healthcare provider for evaluation and treatment options.
If you have concerns, seeing a specialist is recommended for personalized advice and care.

I'm feeling a bit concerned because I've been having this dull pain under my left armpit that seems to connect to my breast, along with some pain in the upper back on the same side. This all starts happening about 10 days before my period. I actually made a note of it because it's been pretty consistent. Around a year and a half ago, I also experienced stabbing pain in my left breast along with back pain. I had mammograms done at two different hospitals back then and they said everything looked fine. They suggested I take Vitamin E tablets, which I did for a while, but even after stopping them a year ago, I'm still having these issues. Could it be related to my cycle, or should I be worried about something else?
Table sigmoflam two times a day or as required after food. if Their is any swelling or node under armpit, so consult a general surgeon.
