Patient's question:
I would like to ask if uterine fibroids are a serious condition. Can surgery be performed under anemia? Does this condition have any aftereffects? What should be noted in daily life? Are uterine fibroids a serious condition?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are a common gynecological condition in women. If the fibroids are small and do not cause menstrual cycle changes, anemia, or other symptoms, surgical treatment is not necessary; medication can be used instead. When the fibroids are large or cause significant symptoms leading to anemia, surgical removal is required. Surgical options include fibroid removal and hysterectomy. In general, for women who are older and have not become pregnant, hysterectomy is often recommended.Post-surgery, complications may occur, but recovery can be complete without long-term consequences. If anemia is severe at the moment, it can be corrected before surgery. Uterine fibroids can cause significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and pay close attention to self-care. Eating more fruits and vegetables and avoiding foods can help. We hope that patients with uterine fibroids can receive professional treatment.
