Patient's question:
In the past two months, there has been bleeding one week after the menstrual period, accompanied by lower abdominal pain. Last month, I took traditional Chinese medicine, but it was not very effective.I want to ask what could be the reason and how should it be treated?
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. It is possible to treat them with oral Guizhi Fuling pills. 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 a woman's life but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to undergo a vaginal examination at the gynecology department of a hospital to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. In daily life, pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
