Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids, also known as leiomyomas, are the most common benign tumors of the female reproductive system. Treatment often involves remedies like Guizhi Fuling capsules, Gongtuo Xiao, and Baixiao Dan. A fibroid measuring 5 cm in size typically indicates the need for surgery. The presence of uterine fibroids not only affects a woman's physical health but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a vaginal discharge examination at the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
