Patient's question:
After an uncomplicated induced abortion, I had a uterine clearance. For over a year, I've been experiencing occasional dull abdominal pain and lower back discomfort. An ultrasound revealed three fibroids, each about 2.5 cm in size. The doctor suggested strict treatment, and my menstrual cycle has also become longer. What should I do? The doctor said if surgery is necessary, it would involve removing the uterus. I feel both heartbroken and devastated. What can I do?Doctor's answer:
The uterine fibroid is not too large. If there is no excessive menstrual bleeding, surgery is not necessary. Assuming surgery is required, it is not necessary to remove the uterus. The patient is only 40 years old, so a fibroid removal can be performed. Minimally invasive surgery is better.Patients with uterine fibroids can, while understanding symptomatic treatment, use dietary therapy as a supplementary treatment in daily life. It is essential to avoid excessive hunger or fullness in daily eating habits and never overeat or binge on food.
