Patient's question:
I am 40 years old this year. I was diagnosed with uterine fibroids a few weeks ago, and I have been experiencing bleeding during recent sexual activity. Hello, what should I do about uterine fibroids causing bleeding during sexual activity?Doctor's answer:
Women with uterine fibroids are prone to irregular vaginal bleeding or a significant increase in menstrual flow during periods. If it is a submucosal uterine fibroid, it can easily cause unstable endometrial growth, leading to bleeding during intercourse. However, it is important to be cautious about early cervical cancer. Therefore, it is recommended to undergo cervical cancer screening, HPV tests, and colposcopy at a regular hospital. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
