Patient's question:
I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. What should women with uterine fibroids pay attention to in their diet?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are 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 interfere with her menstrual cycle. Additionally, at the age of 51, surgery is not necessary for treatment. 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. For women with uterine fibroids, in addition to medication for relief, it is also important to pay attention to self-care training, such as maintaining good hygiene in the private area and avoiding sexual activity during medication. Lastly, it is essential to remind female patients to undergo regular follow-up examinations!
