Frequently seeing your gynecologist is of vital importance if you are a woman of reproductive age. Having a GYN you can trust is important, as they can help guide you through the challenges that come with menstruation, childbirth, and aging. A gynecology doctor can also refer you for further treatment or evaluation, if necessary.
Fibroids are common in menstruating women - up to 80% of women have fibroids at some stage of their life. While sometimes asymptomatic, fibroids often cause bloating, pelvic pain or pressure, a 'bulge, ' or prolonged menstruation, often with such heavy bleeding that it causes anemia. For some women, fibroids can cause pain during intercourse.
