Patient's question:
I have been experiencing lower abdominal pain and lower back pain recently, and my vaginal discharge is also a bit abnormal. There is also blood during intercourse. Could you please ask the doctor how uterine fibroids are usually treated?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas, are a common benign tumor of the female reproductive system. When the fibroids are small, asymptomatic, without complications or degeneration, they do not interfere with health. In perimenopausal patients without clinical symptoms, it is considered that the fibroids may shrink or grow due to ovarian function decline. In the above cases, expectant management can be adopted, which involves irregular follow-up and careful observation (every 3 to 6 months). In addition to symptomatic treatment for uterine fibroids, patients also need to pay attention to nursing care, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in regular outdoor activities. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a regular hospital for diagnosis to obtain good treatment effects.
