Patient's question:
The other day, I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor said I had a small fibroid measuring 2.02.0 in my uterus and that there was no problem, no need for treatment. However, I'm still worried that the small fibroid might grow larger, and the doctor didn't tell me the cause of the fibroid either.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. In severe cases, they can lead to anemia. Treatment is primarily surgical, with little significance for medication. Women with a family history of uterine fibroids or those with chronically elevated estrogen levels are more prone to developing them. Your uterine fibroid is relatively small, so no treatment is currently needed. Regular follow-up ultrasound examinations are sufficient.Doctor's inquiry: Patients with uterine fibroids can, while receiving symptomatic treatment, also incorporate dietary therapy as a complementary treatment. It is essential to avoid excessive hunger or fullness in daily eating habits and never overeat or binge on food.
