Uterine fibroids can cause menstruation to stop?

Patient's question:

Hello. I would like to ask a question. Does uterine fibroids cause menstruation to stop? My friend was diagnosed with uterine fibroids a few weeks ago. Today she told me she hasn't had her period for two months. If everything were normal, her period should have arrived long ago. If everything were normal, her period should have arrived long ago.

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, uterine fibroids can interfere with normal menstruation to some extent, potentially causing heavier menstrual bleeding or discomfort such as dysmenorrhea. However, the likelihood of causing amenorrhea is not particularly high. Pay attention to rest, focus on nurturing your body, and carefully monitor the situation for a period of time. You should also appropriately enhance your nutrition on a daily basis. If the uterine fibroids show significant growth again, it may be necessary to consider surgical treatment.
