Patient's question:
Today, our unit arranged for a health check-up. The doctor conducted a thorough examination and said I have uterine fibroids, which are not very large, and can be controlled with medication. Here, I would like to consult an expert in gynecology and obstetrics about which medication can control uterine fibroids. If you have any knowledge about this, please help answer.Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids can be stabilized with many herbs that have the effect of resolving stagnation and promoting blood circulation. If they are no more than two centimeters, treatment may not be necessary. If they are less than two centimeters but not less than five centimeters, medication can be used during this period. The aforementioned herbs can be used, while it is also important to avoid taking medications rich in estrogen and progesterone, such as birth control pills, as these may stimulate the fibroids to shrink. For larger fibroids less than five centimeters, surgical treatment is generally required.
