Fibroids: Fibroids are like knots in a tree that disrupt the contour of the myometrium, preventing it from contracting smoothly and getting rid of all the menstrual blood. The uterus will continue to contract , leading to heavy bleeding . Fibroids also recruit more blood vessels as they grow , leading to more bleeding surface area.
