Patient's question:
Female, unmarried and childless, with very little menstrual flow but a long cycle. After examination, it was found that the uterus is slightly enlarged. What are the early symptoms of uterine enlargement?Doctor's answer:
Uterine hypertrophy refers to a condition where the uterus is uniformly reduced in size, with a muscle layer thickness exceeding 2.5 cm, accompanied by varying degrees of uterine bleeding. The main symptoms include excessive menstrual flow and prolonged duration of menstruation. It may also manifest as a cycle lengthened to around 20 days, with no significant changes in menstrual volume or duration. Alternatively, it may present as an extended menstrual period but with minimal menstrual volume. Additionally, during the treatment of uterine hypertrophy, apart from symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial. It is essential for patients to maintain a positive mood and adopt a proper diet to avoid unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of uterine hypertrophy.
