Patient's question:
I really want to break down right now. I've already had uterine fibroids for several years. Now, apart from anemia, I feel I can't take it anymore. Doctor, can you give me some advice? What should I do about uterine fibroids and anemia?Doctor's answer:
There are uterine fibroids causing anemia, which require the use of blood-boosting medications for treatment. The fibroids need to be evaluated to determine if surgery is necessary. Anemia caused by uterine fibroids is usually due to excessive menstrual bleeding. If the anemia is severe, oral blood-boosting medications are required, and it is also advisable to consume more foods that enhance qi in daily life. Surgical treatment for fibroids is generally more effective, as otherwise, only qi-boosting treatments address the symptoms rather than the root cause. For women with uterine fibroids, in addition to medication, it is important to pay attention to self-care, such as maintaining good hygiene in the private area and avoiding sexual activity during medication. Lastly, it is essential for female patients to undergo regular follow-up examinations.
