Patient's question:
Doctor, I've been feeling some discomfort in my lower abdomen recently, occasionally accompanied by a sensation of heaviness. I'd like to understand the common clinical manifestations of uterine fibroids.Doctor's answer:
According to what you said, the symptoms you are experiencing again now may not necessarily be a sign of uterine fibroids. It is more likely that the discomfort and heaviness in your lower abdomen are caused by pelvic inflammatory disease. If uterine fibroids are small in size, they generally do not cause any sensation at all. Submucosal uterine fibroids can lead to excessive menstrual bleeding and prolonged menstrual periods. Subserosal uterine fibroids usually do not cause any special sensations. Therefore, if you are not at ease, it is best to go to the hospital for a color Doppler ultrasound to confirm.
