Patient's question:
I am 49 years old. Two months ago, I was diagnosed with multiple uterine fibroids, the largest being 1.3 cm. During my period, there was bleeding, more than usual. Are there oral medications to treat uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are common benign gynecological tumors that primarily cause changes in menstruation, such as excessive menstrual bleeding, prolonged menstrual periods, and menstrual irregularities. They can also lead to pelvic symptoms, such as constipation and frequent urination. In severe cases, they may cause anemia. Treatment is primarily surgical, with little significance for medication. You have already experienced symptoms of excessive menstrual bleeding. If the uterus is enlarged to less than two and a half months of pregnancy, surgery is indicated, requiring the removal of the uterus, as conservative medication treatment is not suitable.
