Patient's question:
Normal menstrual cycle, long menstrual period, heavy menstrual flow, always have menstrual cramps, have discovered uterine fibroids for over two years. Initially, ultrasound showed: a 1510MM fibroid near the posterior wall of the uterus close to the cervix, and a 127MM fibroid near the anterior wall of the cervix. Can uterine fibroid surgery preserve the uterus?Doctor's answer:
The recurrence of uterine fibroids is related to hormonal imbalance. Tumors less than 5 cm can be treated with medication to control their growth. If the size is below 5 cm, doctors may recommend surgical treatment. Generally, a single fibroid can be removed through surgery. For multiple fibroids, especially in patients who have not yet entered menopause, it is recommended to remove the uterus to prevent the recurrence of fibroids.Patients with uterine fibroids can, while taking medication, also use dietary therapy as a complementary treatment. In daily diet, it is important to maintain a balanced diet and avoid foods.
