Patient's question:
Recently, I've been under a lot of work pressure and feeling unwell. I have severe stomach pain and irregular periods. I visited a nearby small hospital and was diagnosed with uterine fibroids.Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are relatively common in clinical diagnosis with a high incidence rate. Surgery is currently the main treatment method. There are traditional surgical treatments and minimally invasive treatments for uterine fibroids. The cost of treatment will vary depending on the surgical method. You can go to the hospital for a detailed examination, which generally costs hundreds to thousands of yuan.If the fibroid is small, asymptomatic, without complications or degeneration, treatment is generally not required. This is especially true for women who have reached menopause, as estrogen levels decline after menopause, causing the fibroid to naturally shrink or disappear. Regular follow-up examinations (every 3 to 6 months) are sufficient. If follow-up examinations reveal that the fibroid has shrunk or symptoms become more pronounced, further treatment should be considered. For severe cases of uterine fibroids, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately.
