Patient's question:
In January 2011, a prenatal examination revealed a uterine fibroid. In February, she had a miscarriage (the cause was unknown). Recent examination results show: an anteverted uterus, irregular shape, and non-uniform muscle wall echoes. A 3.23.33.7 low-echo mass was observed at the fundus of the uterus, with the fibroid located in the anterior wall muscle. A few months ago, she had a left ovarian cyst, which disappeared after two months. Currently, a 2.42.41.4 anechoic mass is seen in the right ovary. Her menstrual cycle is mostly normal, with a 5 to 6-day advance each time, and the flow is not heavy. She experiences abdominal pain and occasional lower abdominal heaviness. She also has constipation.History of Treatment and Effects:
No treatment has been administered.
Desired Assistance:
She wants to know if pregnancy is possible without treatment, as well as the potential impact and risks on the fetus. If treatment is needed, what should be done?
Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids may be related to excessively high estrogen levels in the body and long-term estrogen stimulation. Due to the rapid growth of uterine fibroids, when blood supply is poor, different types of degeneration can occur again. The larger the fibroid, the more severe the cerebral edema, and the more degeneration will occur. If the fibroid is large, traditional Chinese medicine can be used in conjunction. In addition to treating uterine fibroids, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood at all times to enhance their physical fitness and slow down the recovery process.
