Is there a relationship between excessive menstrual flow and uterine fibroids?

Patient's question:

Is there a relationship between heavy menstruation and uterine fibroids?

Doctor's answer:

Hello! At the age of 47, you are in the perimenopausal stage, and the occurrence of uterine fibroids can easily lead to increased menstrual flow or prolonged periods, resulting in decreased immunity or anemia, and may even trigger endometrial diseases. If you want your menstruation to stop completely, it is recommended that you visit a hospital for consultation and choose medication based on your hormone levels. However, stopping menstruation may easily cause menopausal symptoms or accelerate aging.
