Patient's question:
My mother-in-law was carefully examined by a doctor before the New Year and found to have a uterine fibroid, approximately 50s60s in size. She had planned to go to the hospital for treatment after the New Year when her period ended, but it hasn't arrived yet. It's been delayed by 7 days, and I don't know the reason. Should we wait for the period to come before seeking treatment? Do we need to undergo a thorough examination to determine if it's benign or malignant?Doctor's answer:
Hello, uterine fibroids are mostly benign and rarely malignant. Recommendations: Currently, if you haven't had your period, you can consider going to the hospital for a check-up. If necessary, progesterone can be used for symptomatic treatment. After your period comes, it is relatively more appropriate to have surgery within one week after it cleans up. You can also consult with the doctor offline for symptomatic treatment. In addition to timely treatment of uterine fibroids, patients also need to pay attention to nursing aspects, such as proper diet and always maintaining a pleasant mood.
