Patient's question:
My mother underwent a hysterectomy for uterine fibroids in May 2011. In October, her abdomen swelled, and she discovered a tumor in her abdomen. She tried moxibustion, but it was not effective. In December 2011, a thorough examination at a hospital in our city revealed she had inflammatory myofibroblastoma. She then traveled to Shijiazhuang for treatment, where the diagnosis was confirmed as mucinous liposarcoma. She underwent several cycles of chemotherapy, but it was not effective. Subsequently, she took traditional Chinese medicine to control the condition, but it did not work well. Now her abdomen is almost about to burst, and she cannot eat dinner, only a little water, her body is weak. What should she do now?Doctor's answer:
Currently, chemotherapy and traditional Chinese medicine can be used as adjuvant treatments, massage can be used to stabilize the condition, and laxative medications can also be considered. It is important to rest and avoid spicy, irritating, and greasy foods. In fact, having uterine fibroids is not, and patients should believe that they can overcome the disease. As long as timely treatment is received in the early stages, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
