A member asked:

Are fibroids better palpable if your full bladder?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sometimes : Not to the doctor vaginally, but a full bladder will make them easier to sense as they will increase the amount of pressure on your bladder, if small it may make them actually harder to feel.
