Patient's question:
Female, 31 years old, my uterine fibroids have been discovered for 11 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 have all sorts of opinions, saying what to do when you have uterine fibroids.Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are a very common benign tumor. Generally, if the condition is not severe, there is no need to worry too much. It is recommended to check if the size of the fibroid is greater than 5 cm. If it is, surgical treatment is required. If not, proper dietary and lifestyle adjustments are sufficient, along with regular follow-up visits. Different causes can lead to different symptoms. Patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible based on their specific conditions to receive targeted treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold, eat light, soft, and easily digestible foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water.
