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 treat uterine fibroids best?Doctor's answer:
Large intramural leiomyomas or submucous leiomyomas can affect menstruation, often leading to prolonged cycles, extended periods, continuously increasing menstrual flow, and even causing anemia. Lower abdominal pain may be caused by pelvic inflammation and can be treated with traditional Chinese medicine for gynecological inflammation. Uterine leiomyomas are hormone-dependent tumors, and drug protection treatment is not very effective. Menstrual leakage may also be related to taking blood-activating and stasis-resolving traditional Chinese medicine. It is recommended to stop taking the medication and wait for observation. If the leakage still persists in the next cycle, it is advised to undergo a hysteroscopy examination, and if necessary, the submucosal leiomyoma near the mucosa should be removed under the microscope. The occurrence of uterine leiomyomas severely harms women's health, and patients should avoid sexual activity during treatment. Additionally, personal hygiene should be paid attention to. It is hoped that female patients can receive standardized treatment.
