Patient's question:
I have had two miscarriages before. Recently, I've been feeling unwell in my body. A few days ago, I noticed some pain in my lower abdomen. Later, when I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was due to uterine hypertrophy. What kind of medicine can help with this?Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons that can lead to uterine enlargement, such as chronic uterine involution in multiparous women, which causes elastic fiber tissue within the uterine muscle layer to fibrosis between smooth muscles and around blood vessels, resulting in uterine hypertrophy; ovarian dysfunction: prolonged estrogen stimulation can cause thickening of the uterine muscle layer; inflammation: such as chronic adnexitis, pelvic connective tissue inflammation, and chronic uterine myitis, etc.; pelvic congestion, which can lead to fibrosis of the uterine connective tissue and subsequently cause uterine hypertrophy; arteriosclerosis of the uterine muscle layer, etc. The specific cause can only be determined after further careful examination. In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients with uterine hypertrophy also need to pay attention to maintaining a proper diet and ensuring adequate nutrition in their daily lives.
