Patient's question:
Hello, I have a 5 cm uterine fibroid. Previously, my menstrual periods were very regular with no significant symptoms. This time, I think it might be because of the fatigue from cycling, as my menstrual flow has been unusually heavy with large blood clots, requiring me to change a pad every hour. By the end of the night, I feel completely exhausted, especially my legs feel weak, and my abdomen is uncomfortable. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
In clinical practice, uterine fibroids that are no larger than 5 centimeters can be regulated and reduced in size through the use of traditional Chinese medicine. In this case, it is necessary to regularly follow up to monitor changes in the fibroids. Clinically, Guizhi Fuling Pills combined with antibiotics are commonly used. However, the absorption levels vary among individuals, so it is recommended to use medication under the guidance of a doctor. Additionally, dietary adjustments should be made, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, drinking more hot water, consuming more light meals, and avoiding strenuous exercise. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
