Patient's question:
Mother has been menopausal for over a year and has been in good health. She has never needed medication for colds or other minor ailments. Recently, there have been no recurrence of discomfort symptoms, but when she went to the hospital for a health check-up, the doctor told her she has uterine fibroids. How are uterine fibroids treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if the uterine fibroid is small, asymptomatic, and without other complications or degeneration, especially for patients who have reached menopause, treatment may not be necessary for the time being. Careful observation and follow-up checks should be the basis. However, if the tumor size decreases or symptoms reappear, surgical treatment should be considered. The standard for surgical treatment is when the uterine fibroid reaches the size of two and a half months of pregnancy.Additionally, during the treatment period for uterine fibroids, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very crucial. The patient should pay close attention to rest and engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary harm.
