Patient's question:
My mother-in-law previously had uterine fibroids, and she didn't do anything about it. Recently, her menstruation has lasted for over a month and hasn't finished yet. What are the symptoms? Is it related to uterine fibroids? What treatment is needed? Is it serious?Doctor's answer:
According to your situation, due to the size and location of the uterine fibroids, it is possible to cause heavy menstrual bleeding. It is recommended to go to the hospital for a thorough examination to clarify the condition of the uterine fibroids and determine whether the excessive menstrual flow and prolonged duration are caused by uterine fibroids. Generally, uterine fibroids are no more than 5 cm in size and do not interfere with menstruation, so they can be periodically re-examined without surgery. If the fibroids are large and interfere with menstruation, surgery is usually considered necessary.When patients face the problem of uterine fibroids, we should actively adopt treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If the uterine fibroids do not improve with treatment, a new treatment plan should be implemented in a timely manner.
