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. Could you please tell me which treatments are effective for uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumor of the female reproductive system. Most are asymptomatic, with a very small number presenting with vaginal bleeding, palpable abdominal masses, and symptom control. If a pedicle inversion or other condition occurs again, it may cause pain, with multiple uterine fibroids being more common. In your case, it is recommended to undergo a myomectomy, a surgical procedure that preserves the uterus, primarily used for women under 45, especially those under 40. This is not only for women with infertility due to childlessness but also for those who have already given birth, with larger fibroids (diameter greater than 6 cm), excessive menstrual bleeding that is not effectively controlled by medication, symptom control, submucosal fibroids, or fibroids that grow rapidly.
