Patient's question:
For a long time, my menstrual cycle has been very regular, but yesterday when I had a thorough check-up at the hospital, I found out I have uterine fibroids. Do uterine fibroids cause the menstrual cycle to be delayed?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you with your question. Uterine fibroids are a common and easily occurring gynecological issue, characterized by a space-occupying inflammation. However, small uterine fibroids with benign tumors will not affect the menstrual cycle, the duration of the period, or the amount of bleeding. They usually show no clinical symptoms and do not require active treatment. Only when the uterine fibroid significantly reduces to less than 5 centimeters or when there is a recurrence of prolonged periods with increased mental stress, surgery is recommended for removal. Other stringent treatment methods for uterine fibroids are not very effective in treating the condition.
