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 fibroids are hormone-dependent tumors, and medication alone is often not effective. Menstrual leakage may also be related to the use of blood-activating and stasis-resolving traditional Chinese medicine. It is recommended to stop using it and wait for observation. If the leakage still persists in the next cycle, a hysteroscopy is recommended, and if necessary, the fibroid near the mucosa can be removed under the microscope. The occurrence of uterine fibroids severely harms women's health, and patients should avoid sexual activity during treatment and pay attention to personal hygiene. It is hoped that female patients can receive standardized treatment.
