Patient's question:
Actually, it's usually fine, but I always get sick after my period. The specific symptoms are a feeling of heaviness and pain in the lower abdomen, as well as lower back pain. Is this a sign of inflammation? Also, what should I do if I have uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas of the uterus, are benign tumors. In clinical diagnosis, it is generally attempted to treat them with herbal capsules like Guizhi Fuling Capsule. For small fibroids (usually <3cm), careful observation is typically recommended. Fibroids that reach a size of 5cm are generally considered surgical candidates. However, for women who wish to conceive, fibroids as small as 3cm may also be considered surgical candidates. For patients with uterine fibroids, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining hygiene during treatment and keeping the private area clean at all times. Finally, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations!
