The problem is common among women of childbearing age. About 80% of them suffer from fibroids in Brazil, according to data from the Brazilian Federation of Obstetrics and Gynecology Societies (Febrasgo). But most of them do not show symptoms.
Only a few cases show increased menstrual flow, often with clots, which can lead to bleeding – as happened with Cariucha. Swelling in the abdominal area, pelvic pain, and increased or decreased frequency of urination are all indicators of fibroids.
In a few cases, it is necessary to remove the uterus (hysterectomy), because it is impossible to heal surgically after removing the tumors.
