Patient's question:
My cousin currently has a gynecological disease, mainly related to uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts. It is said that timely surgery is needed for treatment, and there will be no other harm afterward. Hello, what should be paid attention to regarding uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts?Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids and ovarian cysts are common and frequently occurring gynecological conditions. As long as they are no larger than five centimeters and do not interfere with menstruation, they can be treated conservatively. The ovaries have two, but the primary function of the ovaries is to secrete hormones, while the uterus is the organ where a baby is born. Medications used to treat fibroids also have a certain suppressive effect on cysts and can be taken under the guidance of a doctor. In terms of diet, it is important to moderately increase nutrition and calories, choosing high-protein and high-vitamin foods, while also regulating the function of the spleen and stomach to promote recovery. The patient's hormone levels are still relatively normal, with only a slight decline in ovarian function, mainly due to the cyst issue. Follow-up examinations can be conducted after menstruation, as some cysts may shrink after the menstrual period.
