Patient's question:
Recently, my menstrual flow has been heavy, my period has been prolonged, and my menstrual cycle has also been extended. I have also been experiencing dizziness and heart palpitations. A thorough examination at the hospital revealed an intramural uterine fibroid. The doctor said that intramural uterine fibroids are very serious. I would like to consult about this condition—how should this disease be treated?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to clarify this for you. Uterine fibroids are mainly divided into three types: submucosal fibroids, intramural fibroids, and subserosal fibroids. Intramural fibroids are primarily when uterine fibroids grow in the muscle layer of the uterus. Generally, there are no particularly obvious clinical diagnostic symptoms, but your accompanying prolonged menstruation may sometimes indicate the presence of submucosal fibroids. If the uterine fibroid is relatively large and accompanied by clinical diagnostic symptoms, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. Uterine fibroids are a gynecological disease that is prone to occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay close attention to cleanliness. Finally, I wish female patients a speedy recovery.
