Can fibroids stop your period?

Uterine Fibroids and Menstrual Changes:

• Uterine fibroids are non-cancerous growths that often cause heavy or prolonged periods.
• It is uncommon for fibroids to cause periods to stop completely (amenorrhea).

Possible Causes for Stopped Periods:

• Consider other causes like hormonal imbalances, stress, pregnancy, or other medical conditions.
• Large fibroids might affect the uterine lining or blood flow, but complete cessation is unusual.

Recommended Action:

• Consult a gynecologist for evaluation, which may include ultrasound and hormone tests.
• A healthcare provider can help determine the cause and recommend appropriate treatment.
