  1. Yes, uterine fibroids can cause heavy menstrual bleeding.

    • Fibroids may alter uterine contractions and increase the uterine lining's surface area, leading to more bleeding.
  2. Monitor Symptoms:

    • Look for signs like quickly soaking through pads/tampons, large clots, or fatigue from blood loss.
  3. Consult a Gynecologist:

    • Discuss symptoms with a healthcare provider for evaluation and treatment options.

If you have concerns, seeing a specialist is recommended for personalized advice and care.

My bartholin cysts keep coming back and they're so painful, sometimes they even burst on their own. Can you explain all the treatment options like marsupialization or surgery, and what actually works best long-term?

For recurring and painful Bartholin cysts that burst on their own, several treatment options exist, with marsupialization and surgery being common choices. Marsupialization, a surgical procedure, creates a permanent opening in the cyst, allowing fluid to drain freely, while other surgical options can include simple incision and drainage or, in more complex cases, removal of the Bartholin gland. While marsupialization can offer long-term relief for some, others may find that the cysts return, and surgical removal may be the best option for long-term resolution. It's crucial to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate treatment based on your individual needs and medical history.

I'm really curious about Acutret. I heard it's used for contraception and that it makes it difficult or maybe even impossible to conceive while on it. Can you tell me what kind of complications might come with taking Acutret? Like, are there any side effects I should be worried about if I'm considering this medication?

Thats not a contraceptive and is used for healthy looking skin,not related to your concern
