Patient's question:
I am a 55-year-old woman. Three months ago, a thorough examination revealed a tendency to develop uterine fibroids. I am particularly concerned about the potential negative impact on my health. I would like to ask about the treatment methods for uterine fibroids.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, the common symptoms of intramural uterine fibroids include vaginal bleeding and secondary anemia, lower abdominal pain, and symptom control. For most intramural and subserosal fibroids, if there are no severe symptoms, conservative treatment is possible, and follow-up checks can be scheduled. However, since you already have obvious pain symptoms, the size of your fibroid will also need to be considered. If it is relatively small, drug-based conservative treatment can be considered. For fibroids that shrink quickly, are multiple in number, and exhibit symptoms such as pain or abnormal menstruation, surgical treatment may be a viable option.
