Patient's question:
I am a 46-year-old woman who doesn't usually have much going on, but after having sex with my boyfriend, I always feel uncomfortable in my private area. Not only is the color of my discharge abnormal, but the odor is also very unpleasant. This issue has been troubling me for a long time. Please ask: What should I do if multiple uterine fibroids cause anemia?Doctor's answer:
Generally, anemia caused by uterine fibroids is usually iron-deficiency anemia. As we all know, anemia can cause significant harm to the body, so it is recommended to first treat the uterine fibroids, and then the anemia will naturally be cured. However, if you currently have anemia, it is advised to take oral iron supplements, with ferrous lactate, ferrous fumarate, and ferrous gluconate being the best options. It is also important to consume a variety of nutritious, high-calorie, high-protein, and multi-vitamin foods to support the body's self-healing function. Additionally, eating more iron-rich foods can be beneficial.
