Patient's question:
My mom is 44 years old. This year, she has lost a few pounds in weight. Is it due to uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are common benign tumors of the reproductive system, primarily causing symptoms such as abnormal vaginal bleeding, abdominal masses, and dysmenorrhea. Medication is not very effective and cannot provide a permanent cure. You can now consider treatment options. If there are no symptoms or the fibroids are small, intermittent follow-up examinations may be sufficient. In necessary cases, surgical treatment can be adopted. It is recommended to maintain a positive mood and avoid spicy, irritating, and triggering foods. In addition to treating uterine fibroids, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet and maintain a joyful mood in daily life to enhance their physical condition and accelerate recovery.
