Belly fat may be caused by uterine fibroids

Whenever the belly bulges, many women will only think that it is a sign of gaining weight, but in fact, this may be caused by uterine fibroids. When you find that your body has become bloated, your belly is becoming more and more obvious, and you also have these abnormalities in your body: hard belly, increased urination, heavy menstrual flow, and lower abdominal distension, it is best to go to the gynecology department for a check-up. Experts say that the most effective way to self-diagnose is to touch the belly. If the belly is fat, it feels soft. If it is a uterine fibroid, it feels hard. Especially in the early morning when the bladder is full on an empty stomach, it is often most obvious, and patients can easily feel the lump.

Women with uterine fibroids need to seek medical treatment in time. Experts say that if the number and size of uterine fibroids are small, they can be controlled by taking medicine; if the uterine fibroids are large enough, they must be surgically removed.

In addition to the inexplicable weight gain in the belly, the early symptoms of uterine fibroids also include the following.

Heavy menstrual flow and long duration. The relationship between uterine fibroids and endocrine disorders.
