Patient's question:
I had an issue last year and went to the hospital for a check-up. They prescribed medication, which quickly controlled it through internal use and oral administration. However, recently, I've been experiencing discomfort in my private area again, with abnormal discharge and a strong odor. Here's my question: How can uterine fibroids be treated to be cured?Doctor's answer:
General uterine fibroids are benign tumors that may lead to menstrual irregularities and an increase in menstrual flow. If the fibroid is larger than 5 centimeters, surgical treatment is generally necessary. It is important to relax, maintain a regular lifestyle, ensure a balanced diet, and undergo follow-up ultrasound examinations. A positive HPV test indicates infection with the human papillomavirus, which can be diagnosed through a cervical Pap smear. After identifying the cause, treatment should be administered. In some cases, antiviral medication may be prescribed under the guidance of a doctor. It is essential to maintain cleanliness of the external genitalia and avoid spicy or irritating foods. Regular exercise should be practiced to enhance the immune system. For patients with uterine fibroids, in addition to symptomatic treatment, proper self-care should also be emphasized.
