Patient's question:
I've been married for two years without having children, and my menstrual cycle has also been very irregular. Sometimes the amount is particularly heavy, and I feel my body is quite weak, with symptoms of qi deficiency. After a thorough examination at the hospital, I found out it was a uterine fibroid. The doctor said this must be surgically removed. I'd like to ask if there are any risks associated with the removal of a uterine fibroid, and if there are any potential aftereffects?Doctor's answer:
In your case, it is uncertain whether you underwent a uterine fibroid enucleation or a total hysterectomy. However, when treating uterine fibroids, regardless of the type of surgery, it generally has little impact on the body. If it was only a uterine fibroid enucleation, the likelihood of recurrence would be slightly higher. In daily life, focus on a light diet, and it is recommended that you have regular follow-up examinations at the hospital. Uterine fibroids pose significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. At the same time, pay close attention to self-care training, eat more fruits and vegetables, and avoid foods. It is hoped that uterine fibroid patients can receive professional treatment.
