Patient's question:
I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up the day before yesterday, and suddenly discovered that I had two uterine fibroids. I haven't felt any discomfort either, but these two fibroids are very small. The doctor said it would be best for me to have surgery to treat them. However, I am very afraid of knives and would prefer to be treated with medication. Can uterine fibroids be cured without surgery?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids can be managed without surgery. If the fibroids are small, asymptomatic, and 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 fibroids to naturally shrink or disappear. Regular follow-up examinations (every 3 to 6 months) are sufficient. If follow-up tests reveal that the fibroids have shrunk or symptoms become more pronounced, further treatment should be considered.In addition to medication for treating uterine fibroids, patients should also pay attention to their diet, such as maintaining a light diet and engaging in regular outdoor activities. At the same time, patients should choose a reputable hospital for diagnosis to ensure effective treatment.
