Why do fibroids cause heavy periods?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Uterine fibroids may put pressure against the uterine lining, which can cause more bleeding than usual. The uterus may not contract properly, which means it can't stop the bleeding. Fibroids may stimulate the growth of blood vessels, which contributes to heavier or irregular periods and spotting between periods.

View allI'm 15 weeks pregnant and just got my NT scan and double marker tests done. I'm worried about my results and need to know if they're normal. My FBHCG is 193 ngmlis that okay? Also, my biochemical T21 risk is 1:178. Does that mean there's a significant risk? My nuchal translucency is 1.7 mm and NT MoM is 1.09. My report mentions the trisomy 21 risk is negative, as well as the trisomy 1318 screen. Can you help me understand what all this means?
Based on your report, your parameters appear normal: the free beta-hCG (193ngml) is within the typical range for 15 weeks gestation, the biochemical T21 risk (1:178) is considered low-risk, and the nuchal translucency (1.7mm) with a MoM of 1.09 is also within normal limits, and with the trisomy 21, 13, and 18 screens all reported as negative, your results indicate a low risk for these chromosomal abnormalities.

I'm wondering if it's possible for rubbing the clitoris too much to lead to bumps on the clitoral hood. I've been noticing these tiny, pinhead-sized bumps for about a year now, and there are only two of them. I'm sexually active and first noticed them after some intense rubbing. Also, I really enjoy masturbating and can spend a long time doing it. Could the vigorous rubbing be causing these bumps, or should I be worried about something else?
It is important to practice moderation and gentleness during masturbation to avoid such issues. As for the bumps on your clitoral hood, they may be due to irritation or even a minor infection. I recommend using an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin, applying it to the affected area twice a day for a week. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen to help with any discomfort. If the bumps do not improve or if you experience any worsening symptoms, it is important to see a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
