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 are the treatment methods for uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors in women and are hormone-dependent tumors. They generally grow slowly, and most gradually increase after menopause. Your mother's fibroids are not large and do not affect her menstrual cycle. Additionally, at the age of 51, surgery is not necessary. Fibroids cannot be scraped off; a D&C procedure scrapes the endometrium. If the menstrual cycle is irregular, it may be due to ovarian dysfunction during perimenopause, which is unrelated to fibroids.There are several treatment methods for uterine fibroids, but the diagnostic approach varies depending on the patient's symptoms. Therefore, patients need timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive appropriate treatment.
