Patient's question:
I am a 50-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, at what size should uterine fibroids be treated?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are benign tumors in gynecology. If you currently have no symptoms, you don't need to worry about them. Medication can solve the problem without the need for surgery, so there's no need to be too concerned. However, avoid eating foods like royal jelly, as uterine fibroids are primarily caused by estrogen. Foods like red dates, royal jelly, and soy milk should be eaten in moderation or avoided. Different causes lead to different symptoms, and patients need to 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 regular routines, take precautions against cold and keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water.
