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 if there are any good treatment methods for uterine fibroids.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if the uterine fibroid is less than five centimeters and causes heavy menstrual bleeding during menstruation, surgical treatment is necessary. If there are no symptoms, careful observation can be performed. For those with obvious symptoms or a possibility of malignant transformation, it is recommended to undergo a hysterectomy. A hysterectomy can be performed as a total or subtotal hysterectomy. For older patients, a total hysterectomy is more appropriate. Uterine fibroids are a common gynecological disease. 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 maintaining clean external genitalia and changing underwear frequently. Wishing female patients a speedy recovery.
