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 also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. What should I do if I have uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your condition, uterine fibroids generally do not require regular follow-up if they are no more than five centimeters in size, to monitor their growth rate, and to take medication as prescribed by your doctor for treatment. If they are less than five centimeters or multiple in number, surgical treatment is recommended. You can choose between laparoscopic surgery or open surgery. It is advised to go to a regular public hospital for a thorough check-up to confirm the diagnosis and follow your doctor's instructions for treatment. Wishing you good health. If you are satisfied with my response, please feel free to rate it. Thank you. For patients with uterine fibroids, in addition to taking medication for symptom relief, it is also important to pay attention to self-care training, such as maintaining hygiene during treatment and keeping the private area clean. Lastly, it is strongly recommended that female patients undergo regular follow-up examinations!
