Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Is it necessary to panic if I have uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Suffering from uterine fibroids doesn't mean panic. First and foremost, it's important to understand that the vast majority of uterine fibroids are benign, and the chance of them becoming malignant is extremely small. The probability of uterine fibroids progressing further is generally very low, usually less than 1%. The exact cause of uterine fibroids is not entirely clear, but it is related to hormone levels. Many uterine fibroids do not cause obvious symptoms, and small fibroids usually do not require treatment. Of course, taking traditional Chinese medicine that promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis can be somewhat helpful. For patients with uterine fibroids, in addition to immediate treatment, it is also necessary to pay attention to self-care training, such as maintaining hygiene during treatment and keeping the private area clean. Finally, it is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations!
