Patient's question:
Lately for the past month, I've been experiencing frequent stomach pain. At first, I thought it was just a cold, so I didn't pay much attention, but in the last couple of days, it has become increasingly severe. Additionally, I have a lot of white discharge with a strong odor, and it's yellow in color. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said I have uterine fibroids and that I need surgery. How big do uterine fibroids need to be before surgery is required?Doctor's answer:
If you have uterine fibroids and they are mild, you can take some medication to help regulate them. You can also have a thorough examination to see how large they are. If they are too large, surgery may be necessary. Uterine fibroids can be cured, but after surgery, you still need to properly care for your body. Eat more vegetables, fruits, and soy-based vegetarian foods. These foods contain a large amount of vitamins, minerals, and various essential trace elements for the body.For patients, if the condition of uterine fibroids is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be administered, and appropriate medication should be used. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of uterine fibroids. Additionally, patients need to maintain a proper diet and stay in a good mood.
