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.

While some pain and swelling are normal, it's crucial to monitor for signs of infection.

I'm a 37-year-old woman who's had four abortions could this affect my sexual health or libido in the long run? I also had family planning surgery after the last abortion could frequent abortions have damaged my genital organs?
In most cases, a history of four abortions, even with a subsequent family planning surgery, is unlikely to significantly impact sexual health or libido in the long run. However, individual experiences can vary.

I have ovarian cyst 5738mm with internal septation is this curable with medician or surgery
A large ovarian cyst (5738mm, which is 5.738 cm) with internal septation is unlikely to be curable with medication alone. surgery is needed for larger or persistent cysts, or those with concerning features like internal septation. While some cysts resolve spontaneously or with hormonal contraception, surgical removal (like a cystectomy) is often necessary for larger cysts or if there's suspicion of malignancy.
