Fibroids are detected through a combination of medical history, pelvic examination, and imaging tests. An ultrasound is often the first imaging method used to identify the size, number, and location of uterine fibroids. In some cases, doctors may recommend an MRI for more detailed images, particularly when planning treatment. Symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pressure, abdominal pain, or frequent urination may also prompt further evaluation. USA Fibroid Centers provides specialized information and minimally invasive treatment options for women experiencing fibroid symptoms.
