Patient's question:
I have recently felt that my lower abdomen often feels heavy and bloated, but without pain, lower back pain, increased leukorrhea, prolonged menstrual cycles, and decreasing menstrual flow. My abdomen is very bloated, and I also feel difficulty urinating. A few days ago, I found out that it was a uterine fibroid, and I am very sad because it cannot be cured.Doctor's answer:
The drug treatment for uterine fibroids mainly includes the following situations:1. Perimenopausal period (around 50 years old) with small fibroids (less than 3 cm).
2. Adjuvant medication for surgical treatment. It temporarily controls the growth of fibroids before surgery, making the procedure easier. It does not cause pressure, surgery, or anesthesia risks, and preserves the uterus. The effectiveness is certain, with immediate results visible through ultrasound or MRI. Most importantly, this method minimizes patient suffering—after treatment, patients can go home within 2 hours without needing hospitalization.
For severe cases of uterine fibroids, it is recommended to seek immediate medical attention and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Avoid switching medications arbitrarily, as this may lead to counterproductive results.
