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.
-
Monitor Symptoms:
- Look for signs like quickly soaking through pads/tampons, large clots, or fatigue from blood loss.
-
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.

I'm really concerned because at my 11th week scan, my cervix length was 4.6 cm, but now in my 20th week, it's dropped to 3 cm. The radiologist said everything looks normal and there's no funneling, but I'm still worried. Should I be concerned about this change?
no problem you consult to gynecologist

My wife is currently 8 weeks pregnant, and during her last ultrasound, they couldn't detect any cardiac activity. The final report mentioned something about a likely missed abortion. Our gynecologist wants us to continue with the medication since there haven't been any miscarriage symptoms yet. We're pretty nervous about this and are anxiously waiting for the next ultrasound in 10 days. Could you shed some light on what to possibly expect? Is there still a chance for positive news? We're just trying to understand all of this.
Hi, It is usually a very stressful time if a heart beat is not discovered. Sometimes it can come a bit later and sometimes it can lead due to a miscarriage. In a missed abortion if usually dont get any symptoms.
