Patient's question:
At the age of 27, I was diagnosed with uterine fibroids, measuring 5 cm. The local doctor recommended removing my uterus, saying that at a young age, they would continue to grow. I haven't become pregnant yet and don't want to have my uterus removed. Is there any good method to treat fibroids without removing the uterus?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids smaller than 5 cm can be treated with medication to control their growth. For those below 5 cm, surgical treatment is recommended. Generally, a single fibroid can be removed through surgery. If the patient has multiple fibroids and has not yet entered menopause, it is advised to remove the uterus to prevent the recurrence of fibroids.In addition to immediate treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial during the treatment of uterine fibroids. It is essential to avoid excessive stress and anxiety, as these can negatively impact the complete recovery from fibroids.
