Patient's question:
I've been experiencing some discomfort in my lower abdomen. In February, I had an injection and was treated, but until May, I still felt slightly uncomfortable. It's been recommended that I have my uterus removed. I want to ask what causes uterine enlargement and whether a hysterectomy is necessary. If it's removed, what kind of interference will it cause in future life?Doctor's answer:
Uterine enlargement is generally caused by adenomyosis, endometriosis, or uterine fibroids. After removal, menstruation usually ceases, and fertility is impaired, with minimal other interference. It is recommended to follow medical advice for uterine removal. If pregnancy is not a concern, it is generally advised to remove the uterus if it reaches the size of about three months' gestation.The daily treatment for patients with uterine enlargement primarily involves medication. Patients can take oral medications, supplemented with vitamins, while also maintaining regular and avoiding smoking and alcohol.
