Patient's question:
My aunt recently discovered that her menstrual flow has increased, and she has symptoms of anemia, such as general fatigue, pale complexion, shortness of breath, and palpitations. The doctor checked and said that smoking and drinking had triggered uterine fibroids. She wants to ask, what are the symptoms of uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Hello. The main symptoms of uterine fibroids include recurring frequent urination, urgency, and difficulty urinating, and may even lead to constipation. Some women may also experience heart disease and anemia. If there is prolonged heavy menstrual bleeding, it can easily cause anemia, and in severe cases, it may lead to anemia-related heart disease. A light diet is recommended, avoiding foods such as mutton, shrimp, crabs, and salted fish, as well as spicy foods like chili peppers, raw scallions, raw garlic, and baijiu (strong alcohol). For patients with uterine fibroids, in addition to immediate treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care. This includes maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual intercourse, eating less spicy and irritating foods, and reminding female patients to undergo regular follow-up examinations.
