Patient's question:
I am currently in a period of irregular menstruation, so sometimes the flow is heavy, but other times it is very light. It's irregular. However, this month, my period suddenly stopped. My children are very filial and suggested I go to the hospital for an ultrasound examination. But when I had the ultrasound, I found out I have a uterine fibroid. What should I do after an ultrasound reveals a uterine fibroid?Doctor's answer:
I don't know exactly how big it is. If it's small, you can carefully observe and have regular B-ultrasound examinations. You can also take traditional Chinese medicine to control its growth. Generally, by the time of menopause, fibroids may slowly expand! Uterine fibroids are a common benign tumor that occurs in the female reproductive organs, also known as uterine leiomyoma. They are divided into intramural uterine fibroids, subserous uterine fibroids, and submucosal fibroids based on their relationship with the uterine muscle wall. When patients are affected by uterine fibroids, we should actively implement careful examinations and treatments and should not avoid seeking medical attention. If uterine fibroids are not cured after long-term treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
