Patient's question:
My uterus has been hurting for several days, with pain similar to menstrual cramps. Because it was too painful, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the examination revealed a uterine fibroid. It has been at least over a month now, and currently, it is a bit difficult to affect my menstrual cycle. What are the effects of uterine fibroids on the menstrual cycle?Doctor's answer:
If there are uterine fibroids, it is necessary to check the location and size of the uterine fibroids. Generally, submucosal uterine fibroids may cause menstruation, leading to increased menstrual flow and changes in the menstrual cycle. If it is a myometrial uterine fibroid, it is prone to cause symptoms such as dysmenorrhea and abdominal pain. Smaller uterine fibroids generally do not affect the menstrual cycle, but it is necessary to actively undergo drug treatment. For patients with uterine fibroids, in addition to oral medication, it is also important to pay attention to self-care at work. For example, pay more attention to personal hygiene, avoid sexual activity during medication, and finally remind female patients to have regular follow-up checks!
