Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are a common gynecological disease, and the exact cause is unclear. It may be related to excessively high estrogen levels in the body and long-term exposure to estrogen stimulation. After undergoing an open surgery for fibroid removal, it is recommended to wait for about two years before considering having a baby.After the surgery, it is advised to avoid excessive fatigue, especially during menstruation, when extra rest is necessary. Increase your intake of vegetables and fruits while reducing the consumption of spicy foods.
