Patient's question:
Upon examination, it was found that my uterine fibroid is approximately 9 centimeters in size. Currently, I am experiencing heavy bleeding and severe abdominal pain. What could be the cause of the uterine fibroid?Doctor's answer:
Multiple uterine fibroids can be carefully monitored if the tumors are small, and the symptoms can be stabilized by regulating the endocrine system. Generally, uterine fibroids are related to excessive estrogen excretion. If the fibroids are smaller than five centimeters or symptomatic, with heavy menstrual bleeding, surgical removal of the uterus may be recommended. If pregnancy is desired, minimally invasive fibroid removal is advisable.After fibroid removal, if the endocrine system is not properly regulated, there is a risk of recurrence. Therefore, it is important to focus on endocrine regulation after surgery. In addition to symptomatic treatment for uterine fibroids, patients should also pay attention to dietary aspects, such as proper eating habits and maintaining a positive mood.
