Patient's question:
In the past few months, I have noticed that my menstrual cycle has changed. It has become longer than before. Previously, it used to be clean within three or four days, but now it takes about a week to clean up. Moreover, the amount has increased compared to before. After a thorough examination at the hospital, I was found to have a uterine fibroid, which is not very large. The doctor recommended strict treatment.Doctor's answer:
The uterus fibroids are caused by prolonged exposure to many estrogenic impacts. Therefore, foods related to hormones should be used as little as possible. Maintaining a positive and optimistic mindset every day can help relax the mind and alleviate depressive emotions. It is easy for estrogen secretion to increase continuously, which is also a major reason for the occurrence of uterine fibroids. Therefore, it is important to always maintain an optimistic attitude. If the fibroids are small, timely treatment with traditional Chinese medicine is recommended. There are many treatment methods for uterine fibroids, but since the symptoms of patients vary, the diagnostic methods used also differ. Therefore, it is necessary for patients to be diagnosed as soon as possible so that the treatment can be tailored to their specific condition.
