My mom is experiencing severe abdominal pain along with menstrual bleeding, and her hemoglobin is at 7.8 gm%. Her sonography report shows a bulky uterus. Im really worried about her. Can you tell me what could be causing these symptoms and what treatment options are available? Does she need surgery, or can this be treated with medication?
Can be indicative of conditions such as fibroids, adenomyosis, or endometriosis. The treatment will depend on the underlying cause. In the case of fibroids or adenomyosis, medications such as Tranexamic acid can help with heavy menstrual bleeding. For pain relief, your mother can take Ibuprofen. If the symptoms are severe and affecting her quality of life, surgery may be considered. It is important to consult with a gynecologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.
