Patient's question:
For the past few months, I've been experiencing irregular bleeding, and it always skips my menstrual cycle. Sometimes, I have severe lower abdominal pain. When I went to the hospital for a thorough examination, the doctor said I had uterine fibroids. The fibroids are very small, and I feel a bit upset. I want to get treatment. Do I need to take medicine for uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
If the uterine fibroid is very small, this generally does not require surgical treatment, because uterine fibroids themselves are a type of benign tumor, and they will not undergo malignant transformation again. Moreover, the occurrence of such uterine fibroids usually does not cause abnormal symptoms in the body. If the diameter of the uterine fibroid is greater than 5 centimeters, it may cause abdominal pain, but since the uterine fibroid is very small, this can be temporarily avoided without surgery. Uterine fibroids are a gynecological condition that is prone to recurrence. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is recommended that patients pay close attention to vaginal hygiene and maintain a light diet as the foundation.
