Patient's question:
78-year-old elderly woman, uterine fibroids, does she need surgery? The physical condition is not very good.Doctor's answer:
Postmenopausal uterus is prone to fibroids. Ultrasound suggests your fibroids have degenerated. The nature of degeneration requires pathological examination as the gold standard. If there are no other symptoms and your physical condition is not good, medication can be used to suppress them. At this age, surgery may not be feasible due to poor physical function, so it is recommended to get more sun exposure, combine moxibustion, and use traditional Chinese medicine for treatment.
