Patient's question:
My wife has uterine fibroids, but she often says her legs hurt. Do uterine fibroids cause leg pain? Is there a relationship between the two?Doctor's answer:
Your wife's leg pain and uterine fibroids should have no relation to each other. Uterine fibroids are mainly prone to cause excessive menstrual bleeding. The leg pain is very likely caused by a herniated disc in the lumbar spine. Therefore, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a follow-up visit with an orthopedic doctor, undergo a CT scan of the lumbar spine, and diagnose whether there is a herniated disc. Then, timely symptomatic treatment can be provided. Actively participate in physical exercise, regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
