Patient's question:
I was diagnosed with uterine fibroids in 2008 (less than one centimeter) and in 2009, it was found to be (about 1.6 centimeters), with small 0.6 centimeter ones nearby. The doctor said it would improve after my period, but I have been feeling unwell and my condition hasn't improved. Besides, I already have urethritis and cervicitis myself. Please help me get a definitive diagnosis.Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas, are the most common benign tumors of the female reproductive system. Most are asymptomatic, while a very small number may manifest as vaginal bleeding, palpable abdominal masses, and pressure symptoms, among others. The basis for medical treatment is that uterine fibroids cause significant interference to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek timely medical diagnosis. Additionally, attention should be paid to dietary issues, with a focus on light and simple foods. It is hoped that patients with uterine fibroids can receive professional treatment.
