What are the common treatments for uterine fibroids?

Patient's question:

I had one incident last year. At that time, after checking at the hospital, I was prescribed medication, which quickly controlled the condition when taken orally and topically. However, recently, discomfort has returned to my private area, and my vaginal discharge is abnormal with a very strong odor. Please ask: What are the common treatments for uterine fibroids?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if multiple uterine fibroids are relatively small, they can be carefully monitored, and endocrine regulation can help stabilize symptoms. Generally, uterine fibroids are related to excessive estrogen secretion. If the fibroids are larger than five centimeters or symptomatic, with heavy menstrual bleeding, surgical removal of the uterus may be recommended. If pregnancy is desired, minimally invasive, uterus-preserving fibroid removal is advised.
After fibroid removal, if endocrine imbalance persists, recurrence is more likely, so postoperative endocrine regulation is crucial. Uterine fibroids are a gynecological condition prone to recurrence. During treatment, women should pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients maintain good vaginal hygiene and follow a light diet. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
