Patient's question:
My aunt recently discovered that her menstrual flow has increased, and she has symptoms of anemia, such as general fatigue, pale complexion, shortness of breath, and palpitations. The doctor said that smoking and drinking had triggered uterine fibroids. She wants to know how uterine fibroids should be treated to be cured.Doctor's answer:
Generally, uterine fibroids smaller than 5 centimeters that do not cause frequent menstruation or excessive menstrual flow do not require surgery. Guaizhi Fuling Pill can be taken orally for treatment. After menopause, small uterine fibroids may shrink and disappear on their own. If the fibroid is larger than 5 centimeters and symptoms persist, surgical treatment is necessary. In your case, with a 4.2-centimeter uterine fibroid, it is recommended to undergo regular follow-up examinations to closely monitor the growth of the fibroid and receive symptomatic treatment. Wishing you good health.For patients with uterine fibroids, in addition to timely treatment, it is also important to pay attention to self-care. For example, pay more attention to personal hygiene, avoid sexual activity during medication, and remind female patients to undergo regular follow-up examinations.
