Uterine fibroids — growths in a woman’s uterus — usually aren’t cancerous. But they can trigger significant pain and discomfort.

The womenshealth.gov website says typical symptoms include:

• Heavy, painful menstrual periods.
• A sensation of fullness in the lower abdomen or pelvis.
• Abdominal swelling.
• Urinating frequently.
• Pain during sex.
• Lower back pain.
• Reproductive problems.
