Patient's question:
I am a 87-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 usually cause less abdominal pain, especially subserosal or intramural fibroids, unless they are very large, which may lead to symptoms that require pain control. If abdominal pain occurs occasionally, a colonoscopy may be necessary for a thorough examination. Then, the patient needs to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular schedule, regulate physical and mental health, and pay attention to keeping a good mood in daily life. It is also important to eat more light, soft, and liquid foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
