Patient's question:
This month, my menstrual cycle has shortened by a few days, and there has been more bleeding than usual. However, I haven't felt any pain and initially thought it was due to the birth control pills I had been taking. But later, I became increasingly concerned and decided to see a doctor. The doctor told me I have uterine fibroids. What are uterine fibroids in women? Will they affect fertility?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are common gynecological tumors in women, characterized by benign inflammation, and are closely related to endocrine disorders, mental stress, irregular sleep patterns, and diet. If the fibroids are small, they generally do not affect fertility. However, if the fibroids are submucosal cervical fibroids or large fibroids that protrude into the uterine cavity, this can lead to infertility or recurrent miscarriage. Uterine fibroids are a gynecological condition that is prone to occur, and during treatment, women need to pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients maintain clean external genitalia and change underwear frequently. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery.
