Is irregular menstruation a sign of uterine fibroids?

Patient's question:

Starting from May 1st, my period has not been clean until now. Is there a possibility of having uterine fibroids? At first, my stomach didn't hurt, but today my lower abdomen hurts a little.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on the information you provided, uterine fibroids can indeed cause prolonged menstruation. In addition to uterine fibroids, conditions such as threatened miscarriage after pregnancy, ectopic pregnancy, endometritis, intrauterine devices, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, and other gynecological tumors may also lead to prolonged menstruation. The occurrence of uterine fibroids not only affects the patient's physical health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a gynecological examination at a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
