Will taking methylprednisolone tablets cause uterine fibroids?

Patient's question:

Will long-term oral methylprednisolone tablets cause uterine fibroids or some gynecological emergencies? Menstruation has continued for 80 days. Treatment history and effectiveness: none. What kind of help is needed: how to treat, whether surgery is required or not

Doctor's answer:

Long-term oral methylprednisolone tablets may affect the endocrine system, leading to menstrual disorders. If menstruation persists for 80 days or more and bleeding does not cease, appropriate treatment should be administered. It is recommended to take oral medications that regulate menstruation, such as Gongxuening and motherwort. If this is ineffective, a diagnostic (D&C) should be performed. This can help apply medication quickly and scrape the endometrium for reexamination to assist in diagnosing the disease and rule out malignant transformation. For patients with uterine fibroids, in addition to medication, it is also important to pay attention to self-care and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
