Patient's question:
I have a friend who started feeling abdominal pain a few days ago, and also had abnormal vaginal discharge. Besides the odor, her vagina sometimes developed cracked skin, and she occasionally felt pain in her lower back. Yesterday, I accompanied her to the hospital for a comprehensive and thorough examination. The doctor said she had uterine fibroids, and we both felt it was quite sudden. How can uterine fibroids be prevented?Doctor's answer:
Prevent uterine fibroids by avoiding overexertion. Pay special attention to rest during your period. Eat more vegetables and fruits, and reduce the intake of spicy foods. Always maintain cleanliness and dryness of the external genitalia. Underwear should be loose. If there is excessive vaginal discharge, it is important to clean the external genitalia regularly. If menstrual bleeding is excessive, consume more iron-rich foods to prevent iron deficiency anemia. Regularly visit the hospital for thorough examinations. When patients are affected by uterine fibroids, we should actively adopt treatment measures and not avoid seeking medical attention. If uterine fibroids do not improve with treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
