Patient's question:
Female, 31 years old, my uterine fibroid has been discovered for 15 years, prone to occur. Currently hospitalized for treatment, and surgery has not been performed yet. The doctor suggested that the uterus could be removed, but friends around me have all sorts of opinions. What are the treatment methods for uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Conservative treatment is based on drug therapy, and minimally invasive or surgical treatment is only considered when drug therapy is not ideal. The patients are aged 40-50 years or older and are in the premenopausal stage, with no obvious clinical symptoms such as excessive skin breakdown or pain. Clinical diagnosis should be carefully observed for a period of time, with examinations every 3 months. If there is no rapid tumor growth, and the symptoms of skin breakdown and pain do not continuously worsen, then the treatment can be expected to shrink the uterine fibroids due to the decreasing age and the rising estrogen levels. This is a commonly used method in the early treatment of uterine fibroids.
