Patient's question:
When taking a shower, the person wiping the water noticed that their lower abdomen felt a bit hard and wondered if there was something wrong. They felt quite upset and went to the hospital for a gynecological ultrasound. The examination revealed a rather large uterine fibroid in the uterus. The doctor recommended surgery. Having lived for so many years without getting any serious illnesses, they were quite surprised when they heard that surgery would be a difficult process. Some elderly family members mentioned having a folk remedy for treating uterine fibroids.Doctor's answer:
I don't know what folk remedy you're referring to. There are some folk remedies passed down in the that can be used for treating illnesses, but it depends on whether they have scientific evidence and how safe they are. You can take your folk remedy to the hospital for consultation to see what adverse effects it might have on your body. Don't let this delay your treatment. If the fibroid is too large, surgery is still recommended for treatment. Feel free to consult for any concerns. There are many treatment methods for uterine fibroids, but since the symptoms of patients vary, the diagnostic methods used will also differ. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive targeted treatment.
