Patient's question:
I have always been very careful about using contraception with my husband. In mid-last month, I had my period for three days and then had sex on the third day, thinking that it would be fine after finishing my period, so I didn't use any contraception. On the third day, I wanted to take emergency contraception, but I was afraid to because I have uterine fibroids.Doctor's answer:
The emergency contraceptive pill Ella can effectively relieve symptoms such as excessive menstrual bleeding and abdominal pain caused by uterine fibroids, which are benign gynecological tumors. Up to 80% of women may develop or have had this condition, with 1/4 seeking medical attention due to noticeable symptoms. Symptoms include heavy menstrual bleeding, anemia, and abdominal pain. The main treatments are surgical removal and/or hormone therapy. Wishing you a speedy recovery! In addition to timely treatment for uterine fibroids, patients should maintain a positive mindset to face the disease. Only in this way can patients receive timely and appropriate treatment. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to dietary care, focusing on light foods and avoiding irritating and cold foods, believing that this will surely drive away uterine fibroids.
