Patient's question:
I carefully checked and found that I have had uterine fibroids for 2 years. The size of the fibroids is only 2 cm. I have always been seeing a traditional Chinese medicine doctor and taking herbal medicine for regulation. Until now, I haven't noticed any major problems. However, recently my menstrual cycle has been very irregular. Is there a connection? What should I do about menstrual irregularity caused by uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
The hazards of uterine fibroids also include causing menstrual disorders. However, menstrual disorders are not necessarily caused by uterine fibroids. Generally, factors such as pregnancy, external pressure, changes in weather conditions, and other gynecological infections can all lead to menstrual disorders. But if menstrual disorders occur, it is certain that there is a problem with the body. At this time, a systematic and thorough examination should be conducted to identify the cause of the menstrual disorder and take necessary measures promptly.For patients, if the condition of uterine fibroids is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be administered, and appropriate medication should be used. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of uterine fibroids. Additionally, patients need to maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition.
