Patient's question:
My mother is 57 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 medications are available for treating uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
When the symptoms of uterine fibroids are mild, antiproliferative agents and gonadotropin-releasing drugs can be used. Traditional Chinese medicine primarily focuses on herbs that promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, reduce swelling, and dissolve masses. Patients with uterine fibroids can consume more iron-rich foods. If the fibroids are larger, surgical treatment may be necessary. Additionally, in daily life, patients should maintain a balanced nutritional intake, engage in aerobic exercises to strengthen the body, and keep a positive mood to enhance physical fitness, accelerate recovery, and prevent the recurrence of the disease.
