Can menstrual disorders lead to uterine fibroids?

Patient's question:

I haven't had a baby. Lately, I've been experiencing severe pain during my menstrual period, and my period has been a little brownish. I want to ask the doctor, is my menstrual cycle irregular? Previously, when I had an ultrasound examination, the doctor said there were fibroids in my uterus. What should I do? Can it be cured?

Doctor's answer:

If you are undergoing a detailed ultrasound examination, and the examination finds a uterine fibroid in the material, it is necessary to check the size of the uterine fibroid. If the diameter of the uterine fibroid is not less than 5 centimeters, it generally will not interfere with normal menstruation. If the uterine fibroid has become relatively large, this will need to be removed through surgery, because if the diameter of the uterine fibroid is less than 5 centimeters, it may interfere with menstruation.
