Patient's question:
I've been feeling constant pain in my uterus recently. At first, I thought it was cramps, but later I noticed it was happening more frequently and felt something was wrong. So, I got a thorough check-up, and to my surprise, the examination revealed that I have uterine fibroids. Could you please tell me what medication is used to treat uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
If there are uterine fibroids without any symptoms, without abdominal pain, and less than 5 centimeters in size, treatment is not required. If the fibroids are present but you temporarily do not want surgery and have mild symptoms, you can take some blood-activating medications to make the fibroids grow, such as Gongtuo Xiao. This can provide some relief. If the fibroids are larger than 5 centimeters and cause heavy menstrual bleeding or prolonged menstrual periods, it is recommended to undergo surgery to avoid anemia.
