Patient's question:
Lately, I've been experiencing random vaginal peeling, and it's happening even before my menstrual period. When I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, they said it was caused by uterine fibroids. The doctor mentioned that it's important to determine the specific type of uterine fibroid, as there are several types of uterine fibroids. Could it interfere with getting pregnant?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are generally divided into three types. There are subserosal fibroids, submucosal fibroids, and intramural fibroids. Different types of uterine fibroids can cause different effects. For example, intramural fibroids or subserosal fibroids may affect some women who become pregnant, but they generally do not affect the baby. Submucosal fibroids may sometimes lead to recurrent miscarriage. The most common symptoms of uterine fibroids are vaginal bleeding, pain, abdominal masses, and so on. Whether treatment is needed depends on the size of the uterine fibroid and the number of fibroids present. In addition to treating uterine fibroids, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
