Can Fibroids cause weight gain?

Fibroids primarily cause weight gain as opposed to weight loss. They often lead to abdominal swelling and symptoms of bloating due to their growth in the abdomen and pelvis. This “fibroid belly” can make the abdomen bulge and even appear several months pregnant, resulting in tightly fitted clothing and feelings of discomfort. Hormonal imbalances, particularly in estrogen and progesterone, may also contribute to the weight gain associated with Fibroids.
