Patient's question:
What should I do if I have uterine fibroids? When I got uterine fibroids, I didn't even know what the disease was. I asked others, and my friend told me it's just a tumor growing on the uterus. I was terrified. I didn't know if this is a disease that everyone gets with age, and I certainly didn't take any preventive measures. What should I do if I have uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Generally, the removal of uterine tumors is often recommended to perform a total hysterectomy, especially when accompanied by severe cervical hypertrophy, laceration, or erosion. However, if the patient's overall condition is poor and technical conditions are limited, a subtotal hysterectomy may be performed instead, with the incidence of stump cancer being only about 1 to 4%. Nevertheless, regular postoperative examinations are still advisable.Additionally, to prevent the recurrence of uterine fibroids after surgery, modern Chinese herbal medicine ginsenoside Rh2 (Humedix) can be taken. With a content of 16.2%, it not only enhances therapeutic effects but also slows wound healing, reduces inflammation, and provides analgesia.
Furthermore, during the treatment of uterine fibroids, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient must ensure adequate vitamin intake, prevent diarrhea, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
