Patient's question:
I had one last year. At that time, I went to the hospital for a check-up and was prescribed medication. Both oral and internal use quickly controlled it, but recently I've started feeling uncomfortable again. My stomach hurts. Please ask: How is uterine fibroids treated?Doctor's answer:
The recurrence of uterine fibroids is related to hormonal imbalance. Tumors with a diameter of less than 5 cm can be treated with medication to control their growth. If the diameter is below 5 cm, doctors may recommend surgical treatment. Generally, a single fibroid can be removed through surgery. If there are multiple fibroids and the patient has not yet entered menopause, doctors may suggest removing the uterus. It is recommended to maintain a light diet and reduce the intake of fish and meat for patients with uterine fibroids. In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients should also pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining good hygiene in the private area and avoiding sexual activity during medication. Finally, it is advised that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations!
