Patient's question:
A few days ago, I wasn't feeling well and went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. They said I have uterine fibroids. I had also been experiencing vaginal bleeding and severe lower abdominal pain for a while. It's been three years since I've tried to get pregnant. How serious are uterine fibroids? Do I need to have them removed?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is important to examine the location and size of uterine fibroids. If the fibroids are small and the symptoms are mild, oral Chinese medicine treatment can be used. When the fibroids are large, it is recommended that you visit a hospital with a three-tier or similar level to consider surgical treatment. After surgery, oral cephalosporin anti-inflammatory drugs can be taken. It is necessary to rinse the external genitalia with clean water every day and soak feet in hot water every night. Follow-up examinations should be conducted every three months or once a year. For uterine fibroids, in addition to regular treatment, it is also necessary to pay attention to personal care. For example, during the treatment period, hygiene should be maintained, and the private parts should always be kept clean.
