Can uterine fibroids affect sexual life

Patient's question:

I was diagnosed with uterine fibroids a week ago, but the doctor said at the time that my uterine fibroids were not serious and gave me some traditional Chinese medicine to take. He told me that I just needed to go for check-ups periodically. I have been taking the traditional Chinese medicine ever since, and some of my previous symptoms have improved significantly. My husband wanted to have sex, and I am a bit worried. Can I have sex with uterine fibroids?

Doctor's answer:

Uterine fibroids can be managed with sexual activity without any impact, so you don't need to worry too much. Additionally, as long as the size of the uterine fibroids does not exceed 4 centimeters, there is no need to worry too much. Generally, it is recommended to have a detailed ultrasound examination at the hospital every 3 to 6 months. If the size increases, it is important to seek treatment promptly to prevent the condition from worsening and to facilitate effective treatment.
The daily treatment for uterine fibroid patients primarily involves symptomatic treatment. Patients can take oral medications and supplement with vitamins. It is also important to maintain a regular schedule and avoid alcohol. We hope that uterine fibroid patients can recover as soon as possible!
