Patient's question:
I discovered multiple uterine fibroids during my annual health check-up this year, about 3 centimeters in size. The doctor recommended surgical treatment, but I am particularly reluctant to undergo surgery. Therefore, I am considering taking traditional Chinese medicine, as it has fewer side effects. I wonder if multiple uterine fibroids can be cured with traditional Chinese medicine?Doctor's answer:
You discovered the fibroids during a health check-up, with the three largest ones measuring about three centimeters, indicating that your current fibroids are relatively small. If they are not submucosal fibroids and your menstrual cycle is normal, without anemia caused by excessive menstrual bleeding, treatment may not be necessary. Medication is also not recommended, as it does not have a proven effect. If the fibroids are submucosal and cause heavy menstrual bleeding, shorter menstrual cycles, and lead to anemia, surgical intervention should be considered.When patients face the harm of uterine fibroids, we should actively adopt treatment measures and avoid avoiding medical visits. If uterine fibroids do not respond to treatment, it is important to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
