Patient's question:
Today, Mom went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was told that the anemia was caused by uterine fibroids. It was also found that there is a hemangioma on the liver. Can uterine fibroids cause anemia?Doctor's answer:
Hepatic hemangioma is a benign tumor of the liver. Small hemangiomas are often asymptomatic, while larger ones may cause discomfort in the liver area. Tumors with a diameter of less than 5 cm and those without symptoms do not require treatment. It is important to avoid strenuous exercise to prevent the hemangioma from rupturing. Regular follow-up and monitoring are sufficient. If the tumor is larger than 5 cm, surgical intervention is recommended. Minimally invasive surgery offers a quick recovery and good results.If a patient is troubled by uterine fibroids, we should promptly implement symptomatic treatment principles and avoid delaying medical consultation. If uterine fibroids do not respond to treatment, the treatment plan should be adjusted in a timely manner.
