Patient's question:
A classmate got pregnant and was found to have uterine fibroids. We were all very worried, afraid it might harm her and the baby. Our classmate followed the doctor's advice to have regular check-ups. Could you please tell me how much the uterine fibroids grow each month after pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
Small and asymptomatic fibroids are usually untreated. Uterine fibroids are within the size of a 2-month pregnancy (duck egg size), with no obvious or mild symptoms. If the patient is close to menopause and cannot undergo surgery due to general health conditions, symptomatic treatment with medication can be provided. If the fibroid is larger than a 2.5-month pregnancy size or presents with significant secondary anemia symptoms, surgical treatment is required. You mentioned this medication contains traditional Chinese medicine ingredients, but its specific effectiveness is not very precise. Standard gynecological treatment does not mention traditional Chinese medicine treatment.
