Patient's question:
Recently, I've been feeling constant pain in my lower abdomen and soreness in my waist. Additionally, I've been experiencing discomfort and itching in my private area, especially in the afternoon, which is really unbearable. I'm asking: What should I do if I have uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
The recurrence of uterine fibroids is related to hormonal imbalance. Tumors less than 5 cm can be treated with medication to control their growth. If the tumor is larger than 5 cm, doctors will recommend surgical treatment. Generally, a single fibroid can be removed through surgery. For patients with multiple fibroids who have not yet entered menopause, doctors may advise removing the uterus to prevent recurrence.For patients with uterine fibroids, in addition to standard treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care. For example, maintain cleanliness, avoid sexual activity, and reduce the intake of spicy and irritating foods. Finally, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations!
