Fibroids, composed of muscle cells and tissues, develop in and around the uterine wall. African Americans and overweight women are primarily susceptible to endometrial fibroids. Common symptoms include painful bleeding and heavy bleeding during and between periods; lower abdominal fullness; frequent urination; painful intercourse; lower back pain; constipation; and such reproductive problems as infertility, miscarriages and preterm labor.
