Patient's question:
In the past few months, I've noticed that every time I have sex with my husband, blood streaks reappear. At first, I thought it was because my period wasn't completely clean, but it happened every time, which caught my attention. Recently, I've felt pain in my uterus again. After a thorough check-up at the hospital, I found that there are two fibroids in my uterus. What are the dangers of uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids can produce symptoms themselves or cause anatomical changes during autopsies that affect other organs. In terms of symptoms, leiomyomas can cause pain, pressure, a heavy feeling, and urinary and intestinal disorders. In the perinatal aspect, they can lead to miscarriage or premature birth, and may cause infertility due to the displacement of the fallopian tubes. Submucosal fibroids or large fibroids can cause abnormal bleeding such as excessive or prolonged menstruation. Large subserosal fibroids and intramural fibroids can also compress nerves or ureters and affect ovarian function. The harm that uterine fibroids bring to patients is very significant. Once symptoms are noticed, it is important to seek medical attention promptly, while also paying close attention to self-care training, eating more fruits and vegetables, and avoiding foods. It is hoped that uterine fibroid patients can receive professional treatment.
