Why do fibroids cause heavy periods?

Doctor 1

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.

I'm 30 weeks pregnant and my doctor has prescribed me albendazole, but I'm a bit worried because the tablet says not to take it during pregnancy. Is it really safe for me to use it while pregnant?

Fever and stomach pain may indicate a gastrointestinal infection. - Loud farts and subsequent watery diarrhea without stool suggest a possible gastrointestinal infection, such as gastroenteritis or food poisoning. - The sudden change from farts to watery diarrhea may indicate a bacterial or viral infection. _Recommendations_ 1. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of fluids, such as water, clear broths, or electrolyte-rich beverages like coconut water or oral rehydration solutions. 2. _Bland diet_: Continue with a bland diet, like khichdi, rice, and bananas. 3. _Rest_: Get plenty of rest to help your body recover. 4. _Medical attention_: If your symptoms worsen, or you experience severe abdominal pain, vomiting, or bloody stools, seek medical attention.

I have a 4.4cm functional follicular cyst on my left ovary with benign features but my periods have been irregular and frequent happening twice recently Will this cyst resolve on its own or do I need surgery

A functional follicular cyst of this size is likely to resolve on its own. It's common for them to disappear within a few months, and your doctor may recommend a "wait-and-see" approach with a follow-up ultrasound to monitor its size. If the cyst doesn't resolve or if you experience symptoms like pain or pelvic fullness, surgery might be considered. Surgery is also recommended if the cyst is very large or if there's suspicion of a more complex cyst

I'm feeling really concerned about something. I got an HSV IgG test result of 0.85 and I've been noticing some redness in the genital area, along with itching and these weird tingling pains in my thighs. Does this mean I have herpes or could it be something else? What's confusing me more is that when I did a test last month, it came back negative. Can you tell me if these results might be accurate and suggest any treatment options?

Yes that could be Herpes,need to take antiviral medicines and topical creams ,visit Dermatologist for appropriate management
