Patient's question:
I have recently been experiencing abdominal pain and abnormal vaginal discharge. Yesterday, when I had sexual intercourse with my husband, my vagina suddenly developed broken skin. This morning, I went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor told me that I have uterine fibroids. I have heard from others that having uterine fibroids requires pressure relief, and I am now very upset. Can uterine fibroids be treated without surgery?Doctor's answer:
The recurrence of uterine fibroids is related to hormonal imbalance. When the tumor size is less than 5 cm, medication can be used to control the growth of the fibroids. If the size is below 5 cm, doctors may recommend surgical treatment. For single fibroids, surgical removal of the fibroid is usually sufficient. If there are multiple fibroids and the patient has not yet entered menopause, doctors may recommend hysterectomy to prevent the fibroids from recurring. It is important to maintain a good mood on a daily basis. In addition to treating uterine fibroids, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet and always keep a joyful mood in daily life to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
