Patient's question:
I recently went to the hospital for a gynecological health check-up because I had never had a gynecological examination before. Upon careful examination, I was found to have a 1cm x 2cm uterine fibroid. I don't usually have frequent periods or unusually heavy bleeding either. Can I take Duijiao Blood-Boosting Granules with a 1cm uterine fibroid?Doctor's answer:
Generally, uterine fibroids smaller than 5 centimeters that do not recur symptoms of frequent menstruation or excessive menstrual flow do not require surgery. It is possible to treat them with oral Guizhi Fuling pills. After menopause, small uterine fibroids may shrink and disappear on their own. If they are larger than 5 centimeters and accompanied by symptoms, surgery is necessary. Regular follow-up examinations are required to closely monitor the growth of the fibroids.In addition, during the treatment of uterine fibroids, apart from symptomatic treatment, the patient's dietary condition and psychological state are also crucial. It is essential for the patient to maintain a light diet and a consistently cheerful and optimistic mindset to avoid unnecessary impacts on the complete recovery of the uterine fibroids.
