Patient's question:
Female, 42 years old, found to have a tumor four years ago, had 3 removed during childbirth, now found to have grown another 4 cmCurrent condition: Excessive menstrual flow with blood clots, lower back pain, stomach pain
Doctor's answer:
Tumors smaller than 5CM can be treated with medication to control the growth of fibroids. If they exceed 5CM, doctors will recommend surgical treatment. Generally, a single fibroid can be removed through surgery. For multiple fibroids, especially in patients who have not yet entered menopause, doctors may suggest a hysterectomy to prevent further growth. The presence of uterine fibroids not only affects women's health but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a gynecological ultrasound examination at the 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.
