Patient's question:
A few days ago, I went to the hospital for a gynecological examination and was diagnosed with uterine fibroids. At that time, the tumor wasn't particularly large, and I didn't feel any discomfort, so I decided on medication. However, in recent days, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain due to the uterine fibroids. Should I consider having surgery?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are the most common type of benign tumor in gynecology. If the fibroids seem to cause abdominal pain by controlling local nerves or if the growth rate of the uterine fibroids is relatively fast, surgical treatment is necessary. Other medications can only temporarily relieve symptoms and may have some effect on controlling tumor growth, but they cannot completely cure the condition. The recurrence of uterine fibroids severely affects women's health. Patients need to pay attention to maintaining external genital hygiene and avoid sexual activity in daily life. Finally, we hope that female patients can receive effective treatment.
