Patient's question:
I am 42 years old. In July, I was diagnosed with a 1.3 cm 0.6 cm uterine fibroid behind the uterus. On November 3, I went to a nearby hospital for a thorough examination and found it had grown to 3.3 cm 2.6 cm. I would like to know what to do if uterine fibroids grow quickly?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you go to the hospital for follow-up examination on schedule. Pay attention to maintaining a good mood, eat more fresh vegetables, and follow a low-salt, low-sugar, and low-fat diet in daily life. Based on your current condition, it is recommended to adopt minimally invasive surgery through the uterine and laparoscopic approach, with the incision size being less than 5 cm. Surgical treatment is recommended. Uterine fibroids less than 5 cm can be treated with medication to control the growth of the fibroids. Generally, a single fibroid can be removed through surgery. If there are multiple fibroids and the patient has not yet entered menopause, the doctor may recommend removing the uterus to prevent the fibroids from growing again. According to your description, the growth of uterine fibroids is related to the individual's constitution. Avoid taking estrogen-containing drugs or health supplements, as these can promote the growth of fibroids.
