Patient's question:
My friend got married last year, but soon after her marriage, her menstruation didn't stop. Even now, it still doesn't stop, and the bleeding is quite heavy. She feels completely exhausted. I accompanied her to the hospital for a thorough examination. The doctor said she has uterine fibroids and that the first step should be to start medication treatment.Doctor's answer:
Hello! If a patient is diagnosed with uterine fibroids after a thorough examination, expectant therapy can be adopted. There is no need for surgical treatment. A follow-up check-up should be performed every 3 to 6 months. During the follow-up period, attention should be paid to whether symptoms reappear, how the uterus shrinks, and a gynecological examination combined with ultrasound should be conducted at each follow-up. If excessive menstrual bleeding symptoms reappear or the fibroids shrink rapidly during the follow-up, surgical treatment should be switched. Under regular and irregular follow-up care, expectant therapy is appropriate for asymptomatic uterine fibroids. Wishing you a speedy recovery!For patients, if the condition of uterine fibroids is severe, symptomatic treatment should be initiated immediately, and appropriate medication should be used. Otherwise, it may lead to the recurrence of uterine fibroids.
