Patient's question:
Female, 46 years old, her mother often experiences lower abdominal fullness and lower back pain, but she doesn't know what's wrong. Later, she heard from a friend that it might be uterine fibroids. She wants to ask how uterine fibroids should be treated appropriately?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned about your wife, if the fibroid is not larger than 4 centimeters, conservative treatment can be started for a period of time to see if it is effective. However, if conservative treatment is not ideal and the fibroid continues to grow, surgical treatment should be considered. Once the fibroid protrudes into the uterine cavity, surgery is the best option, otherwise, menstrual bleeding will continue to increase, leading to anemia. Different causes lead to different symptoms. Patients need to go to a formal Grade 3A hospital as soon as possible for systematic and standardized examinations based on their own condition to achieve symptomatic treatment and recover quickly.
