Patient's question:
Got uterine fibroids and already feeling down, plus severe abdominal pain during menstruation. Hello, is it serious for uterine fibroids to cause severe abdominal pain during menstruation?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids may cause dysmenorrhea. Uterine fibroids are benign tumors of the uterine smooth muscle, with a very low rate of malignancy. The main symptoms include bleeding, pain, menstrual irregularities, and abnormal leukorrhea. The main cause is related to estrogen. If the fibroid is large enough to control the pelvic nerves, it may cause recurrent dysmenorrhea. When the fibroid is located in the lower segment of the uterus, controlling the cervix can lead to difficulty in bleeding, which can also cause dysmenorrhea. Therefore, uterine fibroids can indeed cause dysmenorrhea.Especially in terms of care, it is recommended that patients pay close attention to maintaining external genital hygiene and changing underwear frequently. Finally, we wish all female patients a speedy recovery.
