Patient's question:
I recently experienced the condition of menstrual bleeding that doesn't stop, and found out I have a uterine fibroid. What should I do if I have a uterine fibroid?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of this disease should be based on a comprehensive consideration of the patient's age, whether pregnancy-related symptoms are present, and the location, size, and number of uterine fibroids to adopt an individualized treatment approach.Second, follow-up care should be meticulous, and small, asymptomatic uterine fibroids generally do not require intervention. Especially for women in the perimenopausal period, follow-up should be conducted every 3 to 6 months.
Third, drug therapy is primarily based on short-term treatment and is mainly applicable to uterine fibroid patients with surgical indications. Medication is used to correct anemia, prevent the enlargement of the uterus, reduce the risk of intraoperative rupture, and decrease surgical difficulty.
