Patient's question:
I used to feel constant lower abdominal heaviness and mild pain, and I initially thought it was menstrual cramps. However, later on, my menstrual flow increased significantly, and it wasn't just during the menstrual period. I also had some white discharge. According to Baidu, these symptoms might be due to uterine fibroids. Are uterine fibroids treatable without going to the hospital? Can I take some medication and be careful at home to manage them?Doctor's answer:
Previously, symptoms of frequent lower abdominal heaviness and pain reappeared, along with an increase in menstrual flow, which cannot be ruled out as being related to the presence of uterine fibroids. If menstrual bleeding is heavy, it can easily lead to anemia. Therefore, it is necessary to actively treat the uterine fibroids. If the fibroids are small, medication can be used for treatment, and regular follow-up is required to monitor any changes in their size.
