What Is Fibroids
Fibroids (also called leiomyomas or myomas) are harmless tumors that grow in the muscle of the uterus. They can be very small or grow quite large.
Types of fibroids include:
- Superficial – on the outer surface of the uterus
- Deep – inside the uterine wall
- Provoked – attached by a stalk (called pedunculated fibroids)
Why Does Fibroids Happen?
Emotional and mental factors may include:
- Long-term stress
- Unresolved trauma
- Tension in close relationships
Physical causes may involve:
- Frequent pelvic infections
- Hormone imbalances (like too much estrogen)
- Pelvic floor tension
- Uterine shape or structure problems
Since fibroids often have more than one cause, it’s important to consider both mental and physical triggers.
Examples and Identifying Triggers
Common examples of fibroid symptoms:
- Heavy bleeding and cramping from fibroids inside the muscle wall
- Trouble getting pregnant due to fibroids growing in the uterine cavity
- Frequent urination caused by fibroids pressing on the bladder
- Sudden, sharp pain from a fibroid twisting on its stalk
Many ask: Can fibroids cause weight gain?
Large fibroids may make the lower belly feel full or heavy, but they do not increase body fat.
Ways to find your triggers:
- Use a calendar to track pain, bleeding, and other symptoms
- Watch how symptoms change with stress, diet, or activity
- Try different positions or lubrication during sex to reduce discomfort
Who It Affects
Fibroids can lower self-esteem, affect body image, and cause stress in relationships. People may feel embarrassed by bloating or pain, and partners may feel unsure how to help. Even though fibroids only grow in people with a uterus, the emotional effects can touch everyone involved.
How a Sex Therapist Can Help
A sex therapist can:
- Provide a safe space to talk about things like “painful abdomen after intercourse”
- Look for anxiety, sadness, or trauma that may make pain or distance worse
- Help improve communication and build confidence during intimacy
Ways to Treat and Cope with Fibroids
Helpful options include:
- Therapy or Counseling – to ease fear, build trust, and support your mental well-being
- Pelvic floor therapy – guided exercises to reduce pain and improve control
- Medical support – for hormone therapy or surgery if needed (ask your doctor what’s best for you)
