Patient's question:
Li Hua from the community is a nice person. Recently, she has encountered several problems after taking emergency contraception pills. First, she experienced vaginal bleeding, and later it was found that she had uterine fibroids through a thorough examination. Now she is taking medication. She has always believed that the uterine fibroids were caused by taking emergency contraception pills.Doctor's answer:
The best to avoid eating, uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas, are the most common benign tumors of the female reproductive system. In clinical diagnosis, it is generally attempted to treat them with TCM herbal preparations such as Guizhi Fuling capsules, Gongtuo Xiao, and Bai Xiao Dan. The purpose is merely to suppress the function of the pituitary and ovaries, reduce estrogen levels, and thereby inhibit their focused growth. The effectiveness is not very significant. For small fibroids (<3cm), if there are no symptoms, careful observation and close follow-up can be adopted, with B-ultrasound reexaminations every 3-6 months. Clinically, fibroids of about 5cm are generally considered a surgical indication. However, for those who wish to conceive, a fibroid size of 3cm may also be considered a surgical indication.
