Patient's question:
My older sister often says that her menstruation has been getting heavier, especially in the past month. She also frequently experiences lower abdominal pain and is worried that she might have some gynecological disease. She went to the hospital for a thorough examination, and the doctor said that my sister has uterine fibroids and needs to be actively treated. She is very worried, so she wants to ask if uterine fibroids can be completely cured?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are very common solid masses in gynecology. If treated solely with medication, it is difficult for them to heal on their own. If surgical treatment is adopted, the vast majority can heal on their own. If the tumor mass of uterine fibroids is relatively large, it can easily cause lower abdominal heaviness and pain, and it is prone to cause a significant increase in menstrual volume, which can easily lead to anemia and make a person's body relatively weak. Therefore, if the uterine fibroid is relatively large, it is recommended to undergo surgical treatment.
