Patient's question:
My mother-in-law often experiences lower abdominal heaviness and bloating, as well as back and waist pain. She doesn't know what's wrong with her. Later, she heard from a friend that it might be uterine fibroids. She wants to ask how to prevent uterine fibroids.Doctor's answer:
Hello, uterine fibroids are hormone-dependent tumors. After pregnancy, the hormone levels in the body increase, so they may reappear and grow again. If the growth is not too rapid or too large, it generally does not affect the fetus. It is recommended to undergo treatment during pregnancy and avoid strenuous exercise or actions that increase abdominal pressure. Prevent mental stress, increase bed rest time, and gradually increase exercise time after the placenta has developed and stabilized. Uterine fibroids are a common gynecological disease prone to occurrence. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet. Wishing female patients a speedy recovery.
