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. Could you please advise on any good treatment options for a 51-year-old mother with uterine fibroids that keep recurring after scraping?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.Guidance and Suggestions: 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. Fibroids cannot be scraped away; a D&C (dilation and curettage) is performed on the endometrium. If the menstrual cycle is irregular, it may be due to ovarian function decline during perimenopause, not related to the fibroids.
Uterine fibroids are a common gynecological condition that can easily occur. During treatment, women should pay attention to self-care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients maintain clean external genitalia, change underwear frequently, and finally, wish female patients a speedy recovery!
