Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 45-years-old and weigh 72 kilograms. During ultrasound scanning, it was noticed that there are small intramural uterine fibroids. As a result, I have been facing the problem of heavy bleeding for four days during my menstrual cycle.

Kindly advise.

Answered by Dr. Pandian. P

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

During menstruation, regular contractions occur after bleeding to stop heavy bleeding. In a fibroid uterus, this mechanism is hampered; that is why you have heavy bleeding. If it persists even after treatment for a long time, the fibroids should be removed surgically.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
