Patient's question:
Medical history: Multiple uterine fibroids, 5 cm and several smaller ones. The doctor recommended surgery, but there are no significant symptoms. Due to long-term travel abroad, is it serious if I don't have time to return for follow-up examinations?Doctor's answer:
This symptom is common in women with uterine fibroids who show no obvious symptoms. Surgical treatment is not necessary, and medication also has no significant effect. It is sufficient to carefully monitor the condition and undergo periodic follow-up examinations. If there is a recent rapid growth, accompanied by pain or an increase in menstrual volume leading to anemia, surgical removal can be considered. However, if you cannot ensure a follow-up examination every 6-9 months, you must not take the situation lightly, or you might as well return to your home country for complete surgical removal.In addition to medication for treating uterine fibroids, patients also need to pay attention to nursing care, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in regular outdoor activities. At the same time, patients should choose a top-tier hospital for diagnosis to ensure a good treatment outcome.
