Patient's question:
Doctor, I have uterine fibroids. Hello, doctor, what are the latest treatments for uterine fibroids? Could you please clarify this for me? I have had this uterine fibroid for over two years. The doctor recommended surgery, but I don't want to undergo treatment.Doctor's answer:
For the treatment of uterine fibroids, surgery is generally the primary approach, as the effectiveness of drug therapy for uterine fibroids is not very good. The recurrence of this disease is mainly related to excessive estrogen stimulation. Therefore, it is important to try to eat less estrogen-rich foods in daily life. If the uterine fibroid is already relatively large, exceeding 5.0 centimeters, most cases will require surgical treatment. If the fibroid is still small, medication to inhibit growth can be considered. Specific medications should be followed according to medical advice.
