Patient's question:
Actually, it's usually fine, but I get sick every time after my period. The specific symptoms are itching in the private area and lower abdominal pain. Is this a sign of inflammation? Please ask: What should I eat when I have uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas, are the most common benign tumors of the female reproductive system. Most are asymptomatic, while a few may manifest as vaginal bleeding, palpable abdominal masses, and symptom control. The exact cause of this condition remains unclear. Modern Western medicine employs hormone therapy or surgical treatment, with no other ideal therapies available at present. Minimally invasive surgery is currently the most effective method for treating uterine fibroids. The doctor makes three small incisions, each about 5 millimeters in size, in hidden areas of the patient's abdomen and then inserts a laparoscope. Through a television monitor connected to the laparoscope, the surgeon can clearly and carefully observe the magnified interior of the abdomen. The instruments left outside the patient's body are then used to perform the treatment. The surgery does not require an abdominal incision, causes minimal psychological trauma, and allows for rapid recovery.
