Patient's question:
My friend works in the ultrasound department. Recently, I've been feeling discomfort in my stomach, and sometimes my vagina gets cracked. Last night, when I visited her, she gave me a thorough examination and said I have uterine fibroids. I want to ask the doctor how to treat uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas, are the most common benign tumor of the female reproductive system. Most are asymptomatic, with a very small number presenting with vaginal bleeding, abdominal palpable masses, and symptom control. If a pedicle inversion or other conditions occur again, it may cause pain. Multiple uterine fibroids are common. With a diameter greater than 6 cm; excessive menstrual bleeding that is ineffective with medication; or symptom control; submucosal fibroids; fibroids that grow rapidly. For mental and physical health, the excisional surgery should also be adopted to prevent excessive fatigue, especially during menstruation, when rest is particularly important. Eat more vegetables and fruits, and reduce the intake of spicy foods. Maintain cleanliness and dryness of the external genitalia, and underwear should be loose. If there is excessive leukorrhea.
