How should uterine fibroids be prevented?

Patient's question:

I have uterine fibroids, and I haven't started treatment yet, just taking medication myself. Yesterday during intercourse, my husband didn't use a condom either. I don't know if emergency contraception is safe to take with uterine fibroids.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it's best not to eat this. Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas, are the most common benign tumor of the female reproductive system. In clinical diagnosis, it is generally attempted to treat them with cinnamon and poria capsules, gynecoma, bai xiao dan, and similar medications. The purpose is only to suppress the function of the pituitary and ovaries, reduce estrogen levels, and thereby inhibit their focused growth. The effect is not very significant. Generally, for small fibroids (<3cm), if there are no symptoms, careful observation and close follow-up can be adopted, with B reexaminations every 3-6 months. Clinical diagnosis usually considers a fibroid size of 5cm as a surgical indication. It is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a joyful mood at all times to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
