Patient's question:
I have recently been experiencing occasional stomach pain, and it's quite mysterious. I haven't eaten anything that could have caused it. Previously, I had a thorough medical check-up at the hospital and was diagnosed with uterine fibroids. I'm not sure if this is the reason for the pain. Could you please tell me if uterine fibroids can cause stomach pain?Doctor's answer:
Having uterine fibroids can lead to recurrent abdominal pain. You have already undergone thorough examination at the hospital and been diagnosed with uterine fibroids. If the fibroids grow during this period, they may also cause abdominal pain. Additionally, they can affect normal menstruation, leading to more bleeding, longer duration, and an increased risk of anemia. It is recommended that you first visit the hospital for a follow-up examination to understand the current size of the fibroids, and then proceed with further treatment.
