Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing severe lower abdominal heaviness and pain. It doesn't matter whether it's during my period or not, I always feel very heavy and painful. Especially after meals, I can barely walk. At night, sometimes the pain is so intense that I can't sleep, leaving me looking worn out. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up and was told I have uterine fibroids. Can uterine fibroids be treated without surgery?Doctor's answer:
Generally, uterine fibroids smaller than 5 centimeters that do not recur symptoms of frequent menstruation or excessive menstrual flow do not require surgery. It is possible to treat them with oral Guizhi Fuling pills. After menopause, small uterine fibroids may shrink and disappear on their own. If the fibroids are larger than 5 centimeters and accompanied by symptoms, surgical treatment is necessary. Regular follow-up examinations should be conducted to carefully monitor the growth of the fibroids. Uterine fibroids can cause significant harm to patients. Once symptoms are detected, it is important to seek medical attention promptly, while also paying close attention to dietary issues, focusing on a light diet. It is hoped that uterine fibroid patients can receive professional treatment.
