Patient's question:
I've been having irregular periods recently. The cycle time is very long, and the bleeding volume is also quite heavy. Besides the severe pain in my lower abdomen, each period lasts nearly ten days. My good sister told me that this could potentially lead to uterine fibroids.Doctor's answer:
Some fibroids are small, grow slowly, and are asymptomatic, and can remain undetected throughout a person's life. In recent years, due to the widespread use of B-type magnetic resonance imaging, many patients are discovered to have uterine fibroids during routine check-ups through ultrasound examinations, even though they themselves have no symptoms. Most patients seek medical attention due to symptoms. Common symptoms of uterine fibroids include abnormal uterine bleeding, abdominal masses, vaginal discharge, and pressure symptoms. For severe cases of uterine fibroids, it is recommended to seek immediate medical attention and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements for medication, as this may worsen the condition. The above advice is for reference only.
