Patient's question:
[Condition Description: My girlfriend currently has a tumor in her uterus. She said it might be caused by taking too many emergency contraceptive pills in the past, and I feel her vaginal discharge is a bit excessive. She had half of her uterus removed before, and now the other half might still have a tumor. The doctor suggested she get pregnant as soon as possible. Please ask if there is any way to treat this thing. Is it an uterine fibroid? Also, she has been saying she has abdominal pain for a long time.History of Treatment and Effect: Half of her uterus was removed, and now it is possible that the other half still has a tumor.
Desired Help: Please ask if there is any way to treat this tumor without removing the other half of her uterus!
Doctor's answer:
Hello, uterine fibroids may be related to excessively high estrogen levels in the body and long-term estrogen stimulation. Due to the rapid growth of uterine fibroids, when blood supply is poor, different types of degeneration can occur. The larger the fibroid, the more severe the ischemia, and the more degenerations will develop as a result.The treatment of uterine fibroids mainly includes drug therapy and surgical treatment. If the fibroid is less than 5 cm, drug therapy can be used to control its growth. If it exceeds 5 cm, surgical treatment is required. Because uterine fibroids can affect pregnancy, women planning to have children should seek timely treatment.
