Patient's question:
My girlfriend's menstrual cycle has been irregular recently. Sometimes she doesn't get her period for three months, but last month she had her period for half a month. We went to the hospital for a thorough examination and were told that she has uterine fibroids, with the largest one being 9MM9MM6MM.Doctor's answer:
When uterine fibroids compress surrounding organs, surgical removal of the fibroids is recommended. For women under the age of 40 with excessive bleeding and recurring complications such as anemia, surgical (radical treatment) can be considered (limited to women who are no longer fertile). For those over 45, strict treatment is advisable, as the condition may resolve on its own after menopause (when bleeding stops). During menstruation, it is best to avoid blood-activating and blood-stimulating medications to prevent increased bleeding. In terms of diet, a light and balanced diet should be maintained, avoiding spicy and fried foods. In addition to treating uterine fibroids, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
