Patient's question:
My aunt recently noticed an increase in her menstrual flow and symptoms of anemia, such as overall fatigue, pale complexion, shortness of breath, and palpitations. The doctor said that smoking and drinking had triggered uterine fibroids. She wants to know what methods are effective for treating uterine fibroids.Doctor's answer:
The recurrence of uterine fibroids is related to hormonal imbalance. Tumors smaller than 5 cm can be treated with medication to control their growth. If the tumor is below 5 cm, doctors may recommend surgical treatment. Generally, a single fibroid can be removed through surgery. For multiple fibroids, especially in patients who have not yet entered menopause, doctors may advise removing the uterus to prevent the fibroids from growing back. The recurrence of uterine fibroids severely affects women's health, and patients need to pay attention to postmenstrual follow-up, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, it is hoped that female patients can receive professional treatment.
