Patient's question:
In the past few months, every time my period comes, my stomach hurts severely, the menstrual flow is heavy, containing dark blood clots, there is an increase in white discharge, and my lower abdomen is slightly swollen, as if there is a lump inside. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said it was a uterine fibroid. What kind of assistance is needed: What are the symptoms of uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
How uterine fibroids manifest symptoms depends on the size, location, and number of the fibroids, and a thorough ultrasound examination can provide a clear diagnosis. Common symptoms include heavy menstrual bleeding, frequent urination, and urgency to urinate, as well as abnormal bowel movements. Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumor of the female reproductive organs and one of the most common tumors in the human body. They are also known as fibromyomas or uterine fibromas. Symptoms such as uterine bleeding, abdominal masses, and increased vaginal discharge are all manifestations of uterine fibroids. Patients should seek medical attention promptly for diagnosis and treatment, avoiding the mistake of self-treatment.
