Patient's question:
I have uterine fibroids and don't know if they affect menstruation. Do uterine fibroids affect menstruation?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids do have a certain impact on menstruation. If uterine fibroids are detected through careful examination, it may lead to menstrual cramps, rather than symptoms such as excessive menstrual bleeding. Therefore, if uterine fibroids are present, it is necessary to seek treatment as soon as possible. Generally, many medications can be taken under the guidance of a doctor to regulate the condition, or traditional Chinese medicine can be used for treatment. Avoid spicy foods to prevent irritation. It is recommended to undergo follow-up examinations and, if necessary, surgical treatment may be required.
