Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Can menstruation cause uterine fibroids to grow?Doctor's answer:
Hello, uterine fibroids do not grow with menstruation. The occurrence of uterine fibroids is related to excessive estrogen secretion by the ovaries. Persistent estrogen action can cause endometrial hyperplasia in the short term, while long-term exposure can lead to the development of uterine fibroids. The emergence of gynecological tumors not only affects the patient's physical health but also leads to the occurrence of gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a gynecological examination at the hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Additionally, it is important to drink plenty of water and maintain good personal hygiene.
