Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. What are the causes of uterine enlargement?Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons that can lead to uterine enlargement, such as chronic uterine involution in multiparous women, which causes the elastic fiber tissue within the uterine muscle layer to fibrosis between the smooth muscle and around the blood vessels, resulting in uterine hypertrophy; ovarian dysfunction: persistent estrogen stimulation can cause the thickening of the uterine muscle layer; inflammation: such as chronic adnexitis, pelvic connective tissue inflammation, and chronic uterine myitis, etc.; pelvic congestion, which can lead to fibrosis of the uterine connective tissue and consequently cause uterine hypertrophy; arteriosclerosis of the uterine muscle layer, etc. The specific cause needs further careful examination to be identified. There are many treatment methods for uterine hypertrophy, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment methods used will also differ. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek early diagnosis and treatment upon the discovery of symptoms.
