Patient's question:
I am a 45-year-old woman. Three months ago, a thorough examination revealed a tendency to develop uterine fibroids. I am particularly concerned about the negative impact on my health. I would like to ask what is the best treatment for uterine fibroids.Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, if there are no obvious symptoms of increasing menstrual flow, significant abdominal pain, or anemia, and if you are approaching menopause, surgery may not be necessary. Focus on careful observation and regular follow-up appointments. If needed, medication can also be used to induce early menopause. After menopause, the decrease in estrogen levels may lead to the expansion of uterine fibroids. Different causes can lead to different symptoms. Patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at reputable tertiary hospitals as soon as possible to receive appropriate treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take precautions against cold and keep the environment well-ventilated, eat light and soft foods, and drink plenty of warm water.
