Patient's question:
I am 40 years old this year. A year ago, I was diagnosed with uterine fibroids, and then had surgery to remove them at the hospital. I recovered at home for a while. After that, I felt that there was no problem, but later I heard that it might flare up. I want to understand if uterine fibroids can flare up? Should I go to the hospital for another check-up?Doctor's answer:
Hello, it's a pleasure to help you. Postoperative uterine fibroid is relatively easy to recur, so it's generally necessary to pay attention to follow-up examinations. Follow-up should be conducted at one year, two years, and three years after the surgery. During follow-up, gynecological examinations and color Doppler ultrasound can be performed. It's important to maintain a positive and optimistic attitude, maintain a regular lifestyle, avoid overtime work, and prevent the use of hormone drugs. Eat a light diet and avoid extremely cold and irritating foods. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
