Patient's question:
I have uterine fibroids, and I have decided to undergo treatment now because I am concerned about the impact on my health. Could you please advise on the best way to treat uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors in women and are hormone-dependent tumors. They generally grow slowly, and most gradually increase after menopause. Your mother's fibroids are not large and do not affect her menstrual cycle. Additionally, at the age of 51, surgical treatment is not necessary. Fibroids cannot be scraped off; a D&C procedure scrapes the endometrium. If her menstrual cycle is irregular, it may be due to ovarian dysfunction during perimenopause, which is unrelated to fibroids. Uterine fibroids are a gynecological condition prone to occurrence. During medication, women should pay close attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients maintain clean external genitalia and change underwear frequently. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
