Patient's question:
I am currently experiencing very irregular periods. Usually, my menstrual flow is quite heavy, and it takes about a week to subside. I went to the hospital for an ultrasound examination, and the doctor said I have uterine fibroids, and they are quite large. He mentioned that there is a significant relationship between my heavy periods and the uterine fibroids. Do I have to have surgery for uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Having uterine fibroids can certainly lead to changes in menstrual flow, and may also cause continuous vaginal bleeding as well as vaginal bleeding during sexual activity. If uterine fibroids are large, they can affect normal functions. The most direct and effective method is to perform a uterine fibroid resection. They are benign tumors, so there is no need to worry. After surgery, normal physiological functions can be fully restored. The daily treatment for uterine fibroid patients is mainly symptomatic treatment.
