Patient's question:
A friend's mother has been experiencing abdominal pain recently, but she hasn't overeaten or anything. Do you think uterine fibroids can cause abdominal pain?Doctor's answer:
If the volume of your mother's uterine fibroid is not large, it generally will not cause abdominal pain symptoms. If the volume is less than four or five centimeters, sometimes abdominal pain may reappear, but the likelihood of this is not high, because abdominal pain is a long-term symptom, most likely caused by intestinal issues. You can take some herbal medicine to relieve gas, or apply cold compresses. If it doesn't improve, it's best to go to the hospital for a check-up. If it has already exceeded the surgical indication, it is advisable to consider timely surgery.
