Fibroids often do not cause any problems and are picked up incidentally on scans done for some other purpose. Sometimes, especially when encroaching on the uterine cavity, fibroids can cause heavy menstrual bleeding and painful periods. Occasionally large sized fibroids may present as a hard lump in the lower tummy or with pressure symptoms on the bladder (frequent, scanty urination) or rectum.
