Patient's question:
There are three uterine fibroids, and the largest is currently 30mm. Every time I have a follow-up check, they grow a little. Why doesn't the doctor prescribe medication each time? What if they continue to grow? Moreover, I want to have a second child. If I get pregnant, will the fibroids grow very quickly? If I really do get pregnant and they grow large, what should I do?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids smaller than five centimeters should be surgically treated in a timely manner. Medication is generally not effective in suppressing the growth of uterine fibroids, so doctors do not prescribe medication during each follow-up. However, if the fibroids grow after pregnancy, a cesarean section can be chosen during childbirth, and the fibroids can also be removed at the same time. In addition, during the treatment of uterine fibroids, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also particularly important. The patient must maintain a light diet and always keep a cheerful and optimistic attitude to avoid unnecessary interference with the complete recovery of the uterine fibroids.
