Patient's question:
My mother has been diagnosed with uterine fibroids. How should it be treated? How severe are the current symptoms? Below is the proof from a color Doppler ultrasound (2012):Uterus: Anterior position, normal size of the uterine body, heterogeneous echo of the uterine wall, multiple large hypoechoic nodules measuring 1.51.4cm, clear boundaries; Posterior endometrium 0.5cm (bilateral); No abnormal echoes in the uterine cavity. Cervix: 3.6cm thick, with a clear boundary cystic hypoechogenic area measuring 0.7cm.
Adnexa: No definite space-occupying inflammation in the right adnexal region. In the left adnexal region, a cystic hypoechogenic area measuring 3.63.2cm with clear boundaries is observed.
CDFI: No abnormal bleeding signals are seen.
Detailed findings (for reference only):
1. Hypoechogenic nodules in the uterus, possibly fibroids.
2. Thickened cervix, cervical cyst.
3. Cystic space-occupying inflammation in the left adnexal region.
Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas, are common benign tumors of the female reproductive system. Generally, treatments such as Guizhi Fuling capsules, Gongtuo Xiao, and Baixiao Dan are tried. A 5CM-sized fibroid is a surgical indication. Follow clinical diagnosis and medical advice. Patients should actively undergo examinations and treatments for uterine fibroids, avoiding hesitation to seek medical attention. If the uterine fibroid does not improve with treatment, it is important to promptly change the treatment plan.
