Patient's question:
A colleague had a health check-up and found uterine fibroids, but they weren't serious. The doctor recommended surgery to remove the tumor, but the colleague was very upset about having surgery and didn't want to go to the hospital for the removal. She has been taking medication for a while, but there hasn't been any improvement, and she doesn't know if she can avoid surgery and opt for conservative treatment. Will she be able to move freely after the surgery for uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors in women, generally affecting irregular menstruation, abdominal masses, and abnormal vaginal discharge with pain. In very rare cases, they can cause repeated vaginal bleeding. The specific cause is currently not well-defined. Generally, careful observation is recommended, and if there are significant changes, surgical treatment may be necessary. Otherwise, hormone therapy is advised.Recommendation: Seek treatment from a specialist doctor at a local public hospital. In daily life, it's important to prevent overexertion, get plenty of rest, eat more vegetables and fruits, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and maintain good personal hygiene.
