Patient's question:
I had an operation for uterine fibroids last September. Two days before the New Year, I had my period, and ever since then, except for going to the hospital for an ultrasound where everything was fine, the doctor suggested a D&C (dilation and curettage). I want to ask why the doctor recommended a D&C?Doctor's answer:
Under normal circumstances, it is possible to perform a D&C (dilation and curettage) after an ultrasound examination in the hospital. It is recommended to undergo the D&C procedure promptly, enhance nursing care, pay attention to diet, and maintain good hygiene. Uterine fibroids are a condition that is difficult to relieve. Patients should maintain a positive mindset and face it with optimism, as this can boost their confidence in combating uterine fibroids and increase their chances of recovery. It is advisable to change and wash underwear frequently, preferably by exposing them to sunlight.
