Can uterine fibroids affect sex?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: They are fibrous masses that take up space in your uterus, can cause excessive uterine bleeding, but do not affect sex.

Yes: Fibroids are a result of high estrogen levels. High estrogen=low testosterone= decreased sex drive. Plus the fibroids can cause pain during sex.
