Factors That Can Affect Your Period
9. Fibroids
Uterine fibroids have some similarities to polyps, including their ability to affect your period. While polyps are made up of an overgrowth of endometrial tissue, fibroids are composed of connective tissue and smooth muscle cells. Women between the age of 18 and 50 are most likely to experience them, though many never develop any symptoms. Those who do often note prolonged or heavy periods [Mayo Clinic] and pain after intercourse.
