Patient's question:
I have irregular periods for a long time because of menstruation. Sometimes it comes earlier, and sometimes it's delayed. I already have normal menstrual irregularities, and after visiting the gynecology department, they said that besides uterine fibroids, I now have uterine fibroids. What should I do about menstrual irregularities?Doctor's answer:
If your uterine fibroids are small and have not caused excessive menstrual bleeding or prolonged periods, treatment is not necessary. If your menstrual cycles are irregular, this may not be caused by uterine fibroids but could be due to hormonal imbalance. In this case, it is recommended to visit a hospital to check hormone levels or thyroid function. This can help determine the cause of the irregular menstruation, and medication can then be used for regulation. For patients with uterine fibroids, in addition to medication, it is also important to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual intercourse, and reducing the intake of spicy and irritating foods. Finally, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations!
