Patient's question:
Your wife has recently been experiencing discomfort downstairs, with occasional pain. She went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor diagnosed her with uterine fibroids. Do uterine fibroids interfere with sexual life?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, uterine fibroids will never interfere with sexual arousal during sexual life, but they may cause many uncomfortable symptoms. For example, submucosal uterine fibroids may lead to many menstrual cycles, unstable periods, and shortening periods, etc., disrupting the normal menopausal cycle. If they recur with purulent discharge, ulcers, and infections, they may also cause odor, thus interfering with sexual life. For severe cases, it not only interferes with sexual life but also leads to infertility. However, for the vast majority of women with uterine fibroids, they can still have normal sexual life, but they should remember to have regular check-ups to prevent serious diseases.
