Patient's question:
I have been experiencing discomfort in my legs during sexual intercourse with my husband for a week, and there has been a constant pain. Today, under my husband's guidance, I went to the hospital for a thorough examination. Can uterine fibroids be treated?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids - Submucosal fibroids can be completely removed via hysteroscopy through the vagina, with no incisions; subserosal fibroids and intramural fibroids can be removed using laparoscopy, with the largest abdominal incision not exceeding 1 cm. Once fibroids develop, they will inevitably grow larger, and any medication treatment is ineffective. Embolization and cryotherapy are particularly unreliable due to the risk of damaging the intestines, causing skin breakdown, and other complications. Wishing you good health.In addition to timely treatment for uterine fibroids, patients should always maintain a positive attitude toward the disease. Only in this way can they reduce their immune response and strengthen their will to fight the condition. At the same time, they should pay close attention to dietary care, focusing on light and nutritious foods to avoid irritant and cold foods.
