Patient's question:
My mother is 63 years old this year. She has been looking pale recently and hasn't been eating well. I'm very worried. Could you please tell me at what size does an uterine fibroid need to be treated?Doctor's answer:
You first need to clarify the specific location and size of your mother's uterine fibroid. If it is not located in the mucosal layer and the fibroid is not large, it can be temporarily monitored carefully. Generally, uterine fibroids do not cause abnormal vaginal discharge; it is more likely a recurrence of gynecological inflammation. Your mother can have a routine vaginal discharge test to check for normalcy. Additionally, while undergoing treatment, it is important to maintain a light diet and a positive mood. A good mindset and adequate sleep can also help in the recovery of your condition.
