Patient's question:
A while ago, my aunt accompanied me to the hospital for an ultrasound, and she also got an ultrasound done as an incidental check. However, she was surprisingly found to have uterine fibroids. How should uterine fibroids be treated with a gynecological examination?Doctor's answer:
The tumor is relatively small and does not require surgery. Oral Guizhi Fuling pills can be used for treatment. Generally, uterine fibroids smaller than 5 centimeters that do not cause frequent menstruation or excessive menstrual flow do not need surgery. After menopause, small uterine fibroids may shrink and disappear on their own. If the fibroid is larger than 5 centimeters and symptoms persist, surgery is necessary.It is recommended to undergo regular check-ups at the hospital to address the issue of uterine fibroids. We should follow the principle of symptomatic treatment in a timely manner and not avoid seeking medical attention. If uterine fibroids do not improve with treatment, the treatment plan should be adjusted promptly.
