My mom has been having really bad stomach pain and heavy menstrual bleeding. Her hemoglobin is low at 7.8 gm, and the sonography showed a bulky uterus. What could be causing these symptoms? Can this be treated with medication or does she need surgery?
Your mom's symptoms, including heavy bleeding, low hemoglobin, and a bulky uterus, suggest conditions like fibroids or adenomyosis. These can often cause anemia and severe pain. Initial treatment may include medications to control bleeding and raise hemoglobin, but surgery like hysterectomy might be needed if symptoms persist or worsen. A gynecologist should evaluate her further.
