Patient's question:
A while ago, I was carefully diagnosed with uterine fibroids, which aren't very large. The doctor recommended strict treatment and said medication should be used to control them, with follow-up check-ups at irregular intervals. However, recently, there have been symptoms of very minor vaginal tearing, and when controlling it, there is significant pain, very painful, like being cut off. But I'm also afraid it will affect my body. How are uterine fibroids treated?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids generally do not cause obvious symptoms, but there may be extremely rare cases of bleeding or pain. Whether to remove them depends on the specific size of the fibroids. If they are around 3 centimeters, surgery is usually recommended. For smaller ones, medication is the best treatment. Removing the uterus does not pose significant harm to the body, but it means the patient will be unable to conceive in the future. After removal, sexual activity should be strictly prohibited for at least 3 months, and heavy physical labor should be avoided. Rest is essential. In fact, having uterine fibroids is not something to be afraid of. Patients should believe that they can overcome the disease. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
