Patient's question:
Mom has recently felt some pain in her lower abdomen, and it also hurts when she massages it with her hands. Additionally, her vaginal discharge has an unpleasant odor, and her menstrual cycle is irregular, with occasional spotting. When she went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said it was due to uterine fibroids. I would like to ask what are the treatment methods for uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
For uterine fibroids, treatment should be implemented based on the size, location, and symptoms of the fibroids. If the fibroids are small, in a favorable location, and the patient is of advanced age, close monitoring can be focused, as fibroid growth slows after menopause. If the fibroids are large and affect menstruation, surgical treatment is necessary. Patients facing the harm of uterine fibroids should actively adopt treatment measures and avoid delaying medical visits. If uterine fibroids do not respond to treatment, the treatment plan should be adjusted promptly.
