Can fibroids cause back pain?

I completely understand how exhausting that constant back ache can be. I tried using hot water bottles, herbal teas, and even changing my sleeping posture, but those only helped for a few hours. Ultimately, getting the fibroid treated by my doctor was the only real solution.

Yes, my child, large fibroids can press against the lower back nerves and cause a lot of pain. You can try applying a warm sesame oil massage or a hot water bag to get some temporary relief. But do get an ultrasound done to see what is happening inside.

I was recently told I have a small fibroid, and I have been having this dull back ache for a few weeks now. Does the pain go away with general medicine, or does it only stop after removing the fibroid? I am a bit nervous to ask my doctor about it.

Back pain is very common, but when you have fibroids, it is always safer to get an ultrasound to see if they are growing or changing position. Don't rely on self-diagnosis or pain relievers. Get a professional opinion from your doctor to stay safe.

Honestly, I had no idea back pain could be connected to fibroids until my doctor pointed it out during my routine checkup. If they are on the backside of the uterus, they really push against your lower back. Using a good lumbar pillow while sitting at work has helped me a lot.
