Patient's question:
Now both children have grown up, but I've been feeling unwell recently, with bloating and pain in my lower abdomen. During my menstrual period, the flow is particularly heavy. This year, my company conducted a health check-up, and the detailed examination revealed that I have uterine fibroids. The doctor recommended surgical treatment. Do uterine fibroids require surgery?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are a common gynecological disease diagnosed clinically. They are benign tumors, and clinical diagnosis primarily manifests as symptoms such as discomfort in the lower abdomen, excessive menstrual blood flow, and prolonged menstrual periods. If not treated actively, they can lead to anemia and affect overall health. Medication has little effect, so surgical treatment is the only way to cure them. It is advisable to follow the doctor's recommendations and adopt surgical treatment as early as possible.
