Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. Recently, I went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said I have uterine fibroids. Then, because of some things, I went home to rest and recover. Now, I'd like to ask if uterine fibroids require surgery, or if they can be treated with medication? What should I pay attention to in my daily life?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Based on the situation you described, if the uterine fibroid is relatively small, menstruation is normal, and there are no other discomfort symptoms, a follow-up ultrasound can be conducted every three to twelve months. Oral traditional Chinese medicine such as Guizhi Fuling capsules, or Danshui capsules, or Dahuang Zhichong pills can be used to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, and resolve nodules. If the size of the uterine fibroid is less than 5 centimeters, or if the ultrasound shows rapid growth in a short period of time, or if the menstrual flow is excessive, leading to anemia, surgical treatment should be considered. Uterine fibroids are a gynecological condition that is prone to recurrence. During medication, women need to pay attention to their self-care, especially in terms of nursing.
