Patient's question:
I am a 88-year-old woman. For a while, I have been feeling very tired in my body. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I found out that I was sick. Please ask: Can uterine fibroids cause abdominal pain?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids generally do not cause abdominal pain. If the pain is significant, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a thorough examination. Unless the pelvic nerves are compressed, pedunculated submucosal fibroids can cause pain due to contractions in the uterine cavity, leading to delivery. When fibroids block the cervical canal and obstruct the flow of menstrual blood, it can cause dysmenorrhea. Then, patients need to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular schedule, regulate physical and mental health, and pay attention to maintaining a good mood in daily life. It is also important to eat light, soft, and liquid foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
