Uterine fibroids can cause delayed menstruation

Patient's question:

These last two months, Aunt Flo hasn't been very regular, delayed by a few days each time. I recently found out I have uterine fibroids and want to know if uterine fibroids can cause delayed menstruation?

Doctor's answer:

Uterine fibroids are a common benign tumor in women, which may cause symptoms such as abdominal pain, excessive menstrual bleeding, increased vaginal discharge, and menstrual irregularities. Therefore, considering your current irregular and delayed menstrual cycle, it may be related to fibroids. If uterine fibroids are detected, timely treatment is necessary, which can include oral medication or surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
