Hello,
Thanks for posting on XXXXXXX
Actually fibroids when large enough can press down bowels and even the upper bowels. They are usually first circular masses that occupy a great deal of volume in the abdomen. It can even make a woman feel pregnant and distended abdomen. Huge fibroids can cause constipation or bowel obstruction. If this becomes the case, then it might require surgical removal.
Hope this helps and wish you the best.
