Patient's question:
After the age of 30, my menstrual flow is heavy, with dark blood clots, and it lasts for a long time. This has been going on for two years. My friend said that her uterine fibroids were in a similar condition in the early stages. Hello, have I developed uterine fibroids? Should I be treated conservatively or have them surgically removed?Doctor's answer:
Simply based on what you mentioned, heavy menstrual flow, white discharge with blood clots cannot confirm that you have uterine fibroids, because in addition to the symptoms mentioned above, uterine fibroids can easily cause severe anemia in women, in addition to symptoms such as prolonged menstruation, irregular vaginal bleeding, and abdominal pain. Therefore, it is recommended that you go to the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound examination to confirm. If it is confirmed that you have uterine fibroids, the appropriate treatment should be chosen based on the size, location, and potential harm to the body.
