Patient's question:
Female, 31 years old, my uterine fibroid has been detected for 17 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. What are the precautions before undergoing a uterine fibroid surgery?Doctor's answer:
Most patients with uterine fibroids may experience symptoms of anemia, and it is important to actively correct the anemia before surgery. Before surgery, it is advisable to follow a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Rest and maintain adequate energy levels. Do not be nervous and take precautions to prevent colds. Uterine fibroid surgery must be avoided during the menstrual period, and it is best to perform the surgery after menstruation has ended. 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 ensure appropriate treatment. Additionally, patients should maintain a regular schedule, take measures to stay warm, and include light, soft, and easy-to-digest foods in their daily diet.
