Patient's question:
How is uterine fibroids best treated? I haven't paid much attention recently because I didn't have any symptoms for a while, but my breasts have started to hurt again these days. It feels like it might be a recurrence, which is really troublesome.Doctor's answer:
The recurrence of uterine fibroids is related to hormonal imbalance. Tumors less than 5 cm can be treated with medication to control their growth. If the size is below 5 cm, doctors may recommend surgical treatment. Generally, single fibroids can be removed through surgery. For multiple fibroids, especially in patients who have not yet entered menopause, it is recommended to remove the uterus to prevent further growth. For patients with uterine fibroids, in addition to taking medication, they also need to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining hygiene during treatment and keeping the private area clean. It is advised that female patients must undergo regular follow-up examinations!
