Patient's question:
Hello doctor, my menstrual cycle has been irregular, and sometimes I also experience lower abdominal heaviness and distension. During my period, the blood flow is relatively heavy, and the color is dark red. I would like to ask, what should I do about irregular menstruation and lower abdominal heaviness and distension?Doctor's answer:
If menstruation has been irregular and exhibits symptoms of dysmenorrhea with excessive menstrual flow, this may lead to lower abdominal pain and distension. This condition cannot be ruled out as being related to the uterus. If a uterine fibroid is present, it may affect normal menstruation and cause lower abdominal discomfort, among other symptoms. Therefore, I recommend that you first undergo an abdominal ultrasound examination after your menstruation has completely subsided to check for the presence of uterine fibroids.
