Patient's question:
My colleague got uterine fibroids, which caused her to naturally miscarry at one month of pregnancy. She planned to have surgery to remove the uterine fibroids first, and then try to get pregnant again after a few months. Now another colleague is planning to get pregnant but is also worried about having uterine fibroids and wants to learn how to self-examine for uterine fibroids. How can one self-examine for uterine fibroids?Doctor's answer:
Self-examination and self-correction for uterine fibroids primarily involve observing blood. Continuous menstrual bleeding, postmenopausal bleeding, or contact bleeding are often caused by tumors recurring in the cervix or uterine body. Next, observe discharge. Normal leukorrhea is a small amount of slightly viscous, colorless, translucent secretion, which may have slight fluctuations during the menstrual cycle. However, purulent, bloody, or watery leukorrhea are abnormal. In addition to symptomatic treatment for uterine fibroids, patients also need to pay attention to nursing aspects, such as proper diet and maintaining a cheerful mood. At the same time, patients should also pay attention to choosing a regular hospital for diagnosis to achieve good treatment effects.
