Patient's question:
Dr. Zhang: Hello!I have a question for you: My uterine fibroids were checked at around 1.7 in the past two years, but this year they were around 4.0. Occasionally, I have mild lower right abdominal pain, but it's not severe. Should I have them removed now, or should I wait another year and then decide after another check-up? Does a total hysterectomy have any postoperative complications? Is traditional surgery better than laparoscopic surgery for hysterectomy? And is interventional therapy also associated with significant side effects? Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your condition, it is best to undergo surgical treatment. Whether to use laparoscopic surgery will be determined by the clinical physician based on your specific condition.Hysterectomy: Some women may gradually experience ovarian dysfunction and menopausal symptoms within two years after the surgery. After uterine removal, early ovarian failure can lead to decreased estrogen levels and an increased incidence of cardiovascular diseases.
The occurrence of uterine fibroids not only affects the patient's physical health but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is recommended to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a routine examination. Once the cause is identified, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Additionally, pay attention to personal hygiene and maintain cleanliness in the perineal area.
