Patient's question:
My mother is 69 years old this year. She has been looking pale recently and hasn't been eating well. I'm very worried. Could you please tell me; what are the methods for treating uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors in female reproductive organs, commonly found in women aged 30 to 50. Depending on their growth location, they can be classified into subserosal fibroids, intramural fibroids, and submucosal fibroids. The clinical manifestations of uterine fibroids vary depending on their growth location. If surgical treatment is required for uterine fibroids, doctors will develop different treatment plans based on the patient's age, fertility considerations, fibroid growth location, the number of fibroids, and the patient's willingness to preserve the uterus. Currently, both fibroid removal and hysterectomy can be successfully completed through laparoscopic surgery (also known as endoscopic surgery). This minimally invasive procedure causes less psychological trauma and leaves no large surgical scars on the abdomen, making it increasingly understood and accepted by more patients.
