Patient's question:
A friend carefully checked and found uterine fibroids. Recently, her menstrual period has often been delayed. Is there a relationship between uterine fibroids and delayed menstruation?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids may recur with delayed menstruation, menstrual disorders, or increased menstrual bleeding and prolonged menstrual periods. Based on the results of a color Doppler ultrasound, the size, location, and number of uterine fibroids can be estimated to determine whether surgical treatment is necessary. Additionally, delayed menstruation can also be caused by endocrine dysfunction, cold exposure, oral medications, or emotional factors. It is recommended to maintain regular rest, avoid staying up late, and undergo periodic reviews.
