Patient's question:
A 23-year-old unmarried female was found to have uterine fibroids during a physical examination. Is this condition harmful? How should uterine fibroids be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Traditional Chinese medicine treatment of uterine fibroids is often unsatisfactory and cannot heal on its own. Western medicine is also not very effective. Currently, if heavy menstrual bleeding leads to anemia, it should be addressed. If anemia is not caused by heavy menstrual bleeding, it can be temporarily monitored without specific treatment. It is advisable to consider pregnancy as soon as possible. Once pregnancy is successfully achieved, there will be more options for treatment. There are several treatment methods for uterine fibroids, but since patients have different symptoms, the chosen treatment methods will vary. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive symptomatic treatment.
