Patient's question:
I have a stomach problem and always feel hungry easily (maybe because of excessive stomach acid secretion). I also have small fibroids in my uterus. Recently, I noticed a small lump under the skin on my legs (above the knees). The doctor suspects it might be a fibroid, a benign tumor. How is a benign tumor treated?Doctor's answer:
The situation you mentioned is not effective with medication. Surgical treatment can be considered. Pay attention to hygiene and avoid spicy and irritating foods. If your physical condition does not allow, the doctor will give you conservative treatment. I estimate the next step will be for the doctor to talk to you about your father's condition and the treatment plan. Generally, this can be treated with surgery in a timely manner. Benign surgery can be recovered from, and there will be no major problems. After surgery, chemotherapy for one or two cycles first. In fact, getting a tumor is not terrible. The patient should believe they can overcome the disease. As long as treatment is timely during the early stages, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovery are very high.
