Patient's question:
I used to have vaginitis and pelvic inflammatory disease, which were cured, but later the vaginitis frequently recurred, possibly related to having an abortion in my youth. Recently, I noticed that my lower abdomen is particularly painful, and my vaginal discharge is also increased. During sexual activity, it hurts very badly inside the vagina. Assuming it was vaginitis, I took medication, but it didn't improve. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, I found out that I had uterine fibroids. How is uterine fibroid treated?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for uterine fibroids includes medication, conservative treatment, and surgical treatment. If the fibroids are not large and not severe, medication can be used to achieve a curative effect through regular medication. If the fibroids are larger, surgical treatment should be considered, as otherwise the fibroids may continue to worsen and cause greater harm to women.When patients face the problem of uterine fibroids, we should actively implement examinations and treatment, avoiding hesitation to seek medical attention. If the fibroids do not respond to treatment, the treatment plan should be adjusted promptly.
