Patient's question:
Is severe abdominal pain during menstruation common with uterine fibroids? Girls usually get their period once a month, and it can be very painful, sometimes requiring painkillers to alleviate the discomfort. However, there's a question that many are curious about: does having uterine fibroids make menstrual abdominal pain worse?Doctor's answer:
Suffering from uterine fibroids does not necessarily mean the pain will ease during menstruation. According to your description, you have dysmenorrhea, which is a very common gynecological condition. If the pain is severe, it is generally necessary to take some blood-activating drugs to control the pain. Uterine fibroids are very common benign tumors in gynecology. Their main symptoms are prone to affecting menstruation, causing the menstrual flow to significantly increase, etc., so they do not necessarily lead to the relief of dysmenorrhea symptoms. Patients with uterine fibroids can, while understanding symptomatic treatment, use dietary therapy as a supplementary treatment in daily life. They should maintain a proper diet in their daily eating habits and avoid stimulating foods.
