Patient's question:
Can patients with uterine fibroids take progesterone orally?Doctor's answer:
The recurrence of uterine fibroids is related to hormonal imbalance. Tumors smaller than 5 cm can be treated with medication to control their growth. If the size is below 5 cm, doctors may recommend surgical treatment. Generally, a single fibroid can be removed through surgery. For multiple fibroids, especially in patients who have not yet entered menopause, it is recommended to remove the uterus to prevent the fibroids from recurring.Uterine fibroids are a serious condition, and patients are advised to seek timely treatment and follow their doctor's recommendations for symptomatic relief. Additionally, dietary considerations should be taken into account, avoiding spicy and irritating foods to help alleviate the condition.
The above information is hoped to be helpful to you. Thank you.
