I am 50 years old and have uterine fibroids. My periods are normal, but the blood flow during menstruation is heavy.

Patient's question:

It has been 5 years since the menstrual period has had a lot of blood clots, Qinghai Provincial Hospital

Doctor's answer:

Uterine fibroids are common benign gynecological tumors. Generally, fibroids smaller than 5 centimeters can be treated conservatively, as they may shrink on their own when estrogen levels in the body decline. Fibroids larger than 5 centimeters require surgical removal. For smaller fibroids, it is important to undergo regular check-ups, and treatment methods such as ultrasonic, hysteroscopy, or surgery can be chosen based on symptoms and fertility needs.
