FIBROID FIESTA, the party no-one wants to attend.

Hey friends,

At Be., we're all about making healthcare as approachable and informative as possible. Today, we want to have a conversation about fibroids - those quirky little "party crashers" that occasionally show up in your uterus.

SO, WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH FIBROIDS?

Fibroids, also known as “leiomyoma”, are non-cancerous growths that can show up in your uterus. They're like the gatecrashers at a party - they don't always RSVP, but when they do, they make their presence known. 

Here are some common fibroid symptoms:

🩸 Heavy Periods: 

Ever felt like your uterus declared a "red carpet event"? Fibroids can lead to super-heavy periods that have you sprinting to the bathroom.

Pelvic Pressure: 

Imagine someone gently leaning on your lower abdomen – that's what fibroids might feel like. It's like having a tiny, friendly kangaroo in there! Except, kangaroos aren't that friendly. I've seen a kangaroo or two punch a grown man in the face, (online, of course) and yeahhhh.. no thanks. 

Pain & Discomfort: 

Fibroids can sometimes bring along cramps, backaches, or discomfort. 

Frequent Pit Stops: 

If you're finding yourself running to the restroom like a marathon champion, it could be fibroids pressing on your bladder.

Constipation: When fibroids set up camp near your back door, you might experience constipation and some unwelcome "traffic."
