Patient's question:
My mother is 58 years old this year. She has been looking pale recently and hasn't been eating well. I'm very worried. Please ask: Do uterine fibroids require surgery or medication?Doctor's answer:
Surgical treatment of uterine fibroids includes myomectomy and hysterectomy, which can be performed via abdominal or vaginal approaches, as well as laparoscopic surgery (hysteroscopy or laparoscopy). The choice of surgical procedure and approach depends on factors such as the patient's age, fertility desires, the size and location of the fibroids, and available medical technology. Additionally, while undergoing treatment, it is important to maintain a light diet and a positive mood. A good attitude and adequate sleep can also help in the recovery process.
