Patient's question:
I have been experiencing pain in my lower abdomen recently, but I don't know what caused it. I'm very worried it might be an uterine fibroid. I would like to ask what symptoms are commonly associated with uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of uterine fibroids are generally manifested as irregular bleeding, menstrual irregularities, continuously increasing menstrual flow, or unusually long periods. Leukorrhea may also increase, accompanied by a foul odor. There may be a sensation of heaviness, fullness, and pain in the lower abdomen. If you experience these symptoms again, it is important to promptly visit a hospital for a detailed examination and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment under medical guidance. For patients, if the condition of uterine fibroids is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be initiated, and appropriate medication should be used. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of uterine fibroids. Additionally, patients need to pay attention to their diet and psychological care.
