Patient's question:
For the past half month, there have been large blood clots, a bit of dizziness, but deep sleep is still okay. There is constipation, and there hasn't been a significant change in weight for over 6 years. Every year, the ultrasound results show simple endometrial fibroid growth. It has been scraped and treated with Fuke tablets, but it hasn't been completely resolved. The doctor suggested using an intrauterine device, but I don't know if it's suitable for me.Doctor's answer:
Your condition is caused by endometrial cell hyperplasia resulting from endocrine dysfunction during menopause, leading to dysfunctional uterine bleeding. For treatment, surgical uterine evacuation only provides temporary relief from bleeding symptoms. Since the endometrium will still thicken after evacuation, recurrent bleeding may occur. In your case, the Mirena IUD can be used to alleviate the bleeding.Mirena is currently the only local hormone-based contraceptive method, which releases a slow-acting contraceptive drug embedded in the IUD. After use, it effectively controls menstrual flow, extends bleeding days, treats heavy menstrual bleeding, and alleviates menstrual pain.
