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, with a burning sensation, especially in the afternoon. It's really unbearable. Could you please tell me: What is uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids often manifest as changes in menstruation, abdominal pain, increased vaginal discharge, infertility, secondary anemia, and other symptoms. If a fibroid is present but clinical symptoms are not significant and the fibroid is small, treatment may not be necessary. If clinical symptoms have already been diagnosed but are not severe, without anemia, and the fibroid is less than 5 cm, medication can be used first. Many antagonistic hormone drugs can cause the fibroid to grow. The recurrence of uterine fibroids severely harms women's health. Patients need to pay attention to treatment during their daily lives and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, personal hygiene should be maintained. Finally, it is hoped that female patients can receive standardized treatment.
