Patient's question:
The previous menstrual cycles were very regular, but this month, it hasn't arrived yet. It's been about half a month. I went to the hospital for an ultrasound and found out I have uterine fibroids. That's not all, tomorrow I still need to have a biopsy. I want to consult a few things: what is a biopsy, does it indicate that it might continue to worsen, and do I need surgery?Doctor's answer:
From the situation you described, a biopsy is a living tissue examination, which is a pathological examination. A small piece or several small pieces of the tumor growing on the uterus are taken for pathological examination to confirm whether it is benign or malignant. It is recommended that you pay attention to rest and ensure adequate deep sleep, avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods, and avoid smoking and drinking. Sometimes, uterine fibroids may develop due to interference from factors such as mental tension, emotional pressure, and endocrine disorders. Uterine fibroids are a gynecological disease that is prone to occur. During medication, women need to pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of care. It is recommended that patients pay more attention to avoiding sexual activity during treatment and pay attention to hygiene.
