Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with uterine fibroids after a thorough examination due to heavy menstruation, excessive vaginal discharge during daily life, and accompanied by lower abdominal pain. However, traditionally speaking, uterine fibroids should not cause menstrual irregularity such as reduced menstruation. So, I would like to ask the doctor why do uterine fibroids cause heavy menstruation?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are a very common gynecological disease, which are divided into submucosal uterine fibroids, intramural uterine fibroids, and subserosal uterine fibroids, etc. Uterine fibroids have solid tumors that can easily affect the contraction of the uterus, especially submucosal uterine fibroids generally weaken the uterine cavity, making it easier to affect uterine contraction, thereby leading to continuous increase in menstrual volume, etc. If uterine fibroids significantly affect menstruation, surgery to remove them can be considered.
