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 due to uterine fibroids. She wants to ask what causes uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Hello, uterine fibroids are mostly benign and rarely malignant. Currently, if you are not menstruating, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up. If necessary, progesterone can be used for symptomatic treatment. After menstruation, it is relatively more appropriate to have surgery within one week after it clears. You can also consult with a doctor offline for symptomatic treatment. For patients with uterine fibroids, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining cleanliness, avoiding sexual activity, eating less spicy and irritating foods, and reminding female patients to have regular follow-up examinations.
