Patient's question:
I have had uterine fibroids for over ten years. My menstrual flow has always been light, which has led to anemia. Recently, my period lasts only about a month and comes with blood clots. Now I feel weak all over, exhausted and tired, and my lips are pale. I think I have anemia. What is the relationship between uterine fibroids and infertility?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are a common benign tumor in Chinese women. Generally, the treatment is surgical, but not all patients require surgery. It depends on the size of the fibroids, their rate of shrinkage, and whether they cause abnormal menstruation. At this age, if pregnancy is not planned, it is generally recommended to remove the uterus if the fibroids are larger than 5 cm or if they are prone to causing abnormal menstruation. It is advised to undergo thorough examination and treatment at a local top-tier hospital or a hospital with a higher grade. Medication is usually ineffective for this condition, and if possible, it is generally recommended to remove the fibroids to prevent recurrence and adverse inflammation.
