Is it possible to have fibroids at 18?

Extremely painful mentstral cycles to the point of faint/dizziness, can be a sign of fibroids right? So is it possible to have one at 18?

yes
I developed fibroids after I had two dermoid cysts removed when I was 20. Fibroids aren't fun, but they aren't as dangerous as cysts. Make an appointment to get a sonogram to see what else might be happening in there.
Going on Seasonale, the Pill where you only get a period every few months, is a great way to deal with fibroids.

Generally 18 year olds don't have fibroids. However really painful periods need to be reported to the doctor.
