Anal Irritation
In some cases, fibroids can also lead to the development of hemorrhoids, and patients may come to the doctor with signs and symptoms of both fibroid and hemorrhoids. The symptoms such as itching, pain and swelling around the anus usually lead to the diagnosis of hemorrhoids. The reason why fibroids cause hemorrhoids is that it is generally associated with constipation, which forces patients to push harder and increase the pressure on the pelvic floor. Additionally, large fibroids may press against the rectum and change the pressure of its blood vessels.
