Patient's question:
I have known for over two years that I have uterine fibroids. However, when it first started, the fibroids were still small, and the doctor said it was okay to delay treatment for now, to suppress my diet, and to wait and see if surgery could be avoided later, as the fibroids might naturally shrink due to insufficient blood supply. But now I have noticed that they have grown significantly.Doctor's answer:
Consider surgical treatment. It can also be achieved by cutting off the blood supply to the uterine artery, causing the tumor to swell and brain edema, which goes beyond the goal of treating the tumor. This therapy is effective, has minimal psychological trauma, and can preserve the uterus. It has been used more frequently in recent years. The main side effects include abdominal pain, nausea, low fever, etc., which usually disappear within a week after surgery. It is mainly used in the following cases: ① Excessive menstrual bleeding with pressure symptoms, and patients who cannot undergo surgery for various reasons; ② Poor drug efficacy or those who wish to avoid drug treatment side effects. Uterine fibroids are a disease that is difficult to cure.
