Patient's question:
At the age of 47, I have multiple uterine fibroids, 7-8 of them measuring 2-3 cm. In 1999, I underwent laparoscopic surgery to remove uterine fibroids, but now they have recurred. How should I be treated? What supplements can I take?Doctor's answer:
From your description, it seems that your condition is due to uterine fibroids. This disease is an organic inflammatory condition, and neither medication nor supplements can lead to recovery. Therefore, your treatment should be determined based on your symptoms, and that should be sufficient.Uterine fibroids can cause different symptoms depending on their location. If they are subserosal, they may not affect your menstrual cycle, and treatment may not be necessary. However, if they do affect your menstrual cycle, leading to heavy bleeding or prolonged duration, surgical removal may be required. For the former case, since you are approaching menopause, the condition will no longer cause adverse effects after menopause, and treatment may not be needed.
