Patient's question:
My little aunt has irregular menstruation, severe skin peeling, and intense abdominal pain. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was found to be multiple uterine fibroids, with relatively large tumor masses. In addition to the adnexal cysts, the doctor recommended removing the entire uterus. However, she is not very willing, believing that without a uterus, a woman is not truly a woman. What kind of surgery should be performed for multiple uterine fibroids and adnexal cysts?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of uterine fibroids requires a comprehensive evaluation based on the patient's age, symptoms, fertility recommendations, the size and growth rate of the fibroids. If the fibroids are small, not numerous, asymptomatic, or the patient is nearing menopause, conservative treatment with periodic follow-ups may be appropriate. If the fibroids are reducing in size, growing rapidly, numerous, or accompanied by significant pain, heavy menstrual bleeding, or prolonged periods, surgical removal should be considered. It is recommended to consult with the doctor who provides clinical diagnosis to determine the most suitable treatment method. When patients face the issue of uterine fibroids, timely symptomatic treatment should be implemented, and there should be no hesitation to seek medical attention. If uterine fibroids do not respond to treatment, the treatment plan should be adjusted promptly.
