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. Could you please tell me what are the common symptoms of uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Hello, uterine fibroids often show no symptoms, with only a very small number presenting as vaginal bleeding, palpable abdominal masses, or symptom control. The treatment method for uterine fibroids depends on factors such as the patient's age, whether symptoms are present, the location of the fibroids, their size, growth rate, number, the degree of uterine deformation caused, how fertility can be preserved, and the patient's preferences. Medication can be used first, as uterine fibroids are hormone-dependent tumors, so antagonistic hormone drugs are employed. If medication is unsuccessful in reducing symptoms or if there is suspicion of malignancy, surgical treatment should be considered. The recurrence of uterine fibroids severely harms women's health, and patients should pay attention to avoiding sexual activity during treatment and maintaining good personal hygiene. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive effective treatment.
