Patient's question:
My friend recently went to the hospital for a thorough check-up and found that she was not feeling well. So, she asked me if uterine fibroids can be treated without surgery? She wants to gain some confidence.Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are relatively common benign tumors in gynecology. This is a solid disease. If the fibroids are large, surgery is generally required for treatment. Medication is often difficult to completely eliminate them. If the fibroids are small, less than 5.0 cm, and there are no obvious symptoms, this condition can be monitored with periodic follow-ups and does not require treatment. Under the guidance of a doctor, medication or traditional Chinese medicine can be used to control the growth rate of uterine fibroids.
