Patient's question:
3 months without medical consultation, a lump has grown on the outer wall of the uterus. Is it a uterine fibroid?Doctor's answer:
Generally, uterine fibroids smaller than 5 centimeters that do not cause symptoms such as frequent menstruation or excessive menstrual flow do not require surgery. Guaizhi-Fuling pills can be taken orally for treatment. After menopause, small uterine fibroids may shrink and disappear on their own. If the fibroids are larger than 5 centimeters and accompanied by symptoms, surgical treatment is necessary.The presence of uterine fibroids not only affects the patient's quality of life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a vaginal discharge test at the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to personal hygiene and keep the perineal skin clean.
