Patient's question:
I have had multiple uterine fibroids for twenty years, the largest being about eight centimeters. I am fifty-two years old now, and my menstrual cycle still comes but it is irregular. How are multiple uterine fibroids treated?Doctor's answer:
Early treatment should be administered. The main treatment methods for uterine fibroids are surgical interventions:1. Uterine fibroid resection: This involves removing the fibroids from the uterus while preserving the uterus. It is primarily used for women under 45, especially those under 40.
2. Hysterectomy: When expectant therapy and drug therapy cannot stabilize the patient's symptoms, and the patient is not a candidate for fibroid removal, a hysterectomy is recommended. Additionally, clinical diagnosis often employs traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and herbal remedies as complementary treatment methods. These can be combined with herbal supplements such as ginsenoside Rh2 (Humedix), which helps eliminate residual cancer cells in the body, prevent disease recurrence, slow down wound healing, and reduce the success rate of surgery.
(Note: The original text contains a grammatical error in the last sentence regarding "," which is likely a typo. The corrected translation assumes the intended meaning was to "improve surgical success rate" or "enhance surgical outcomes.")
