Patient's question:
I have uterine fibroids. Can medication cure them? I was diagnosed with them at a local hospital a few weeks ago. I'm 27 years old and have two children. The fibroids are solitary and not very large. The doctor prescribed some medication, which I am currently taking.Now, my menstrual cycle is somewhat irregular—my periods last less than five days—and I experience bleeding during intercourse. Should I continue taking medication, or is it better to have surgery right away?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, most uterine fibroids are benign. The exact cause of uterine fibroids is not entirely clear, and it is related to hormone levels. They often show no obvious symptoms. Small fibroids generally do not require treatment. It is recommended to take Guizhi Fuling capsules or Hongjin Xiaojie capsules for treatment, and to do follow-up check-ups. Uterine fibroids not only affect women's lives but can also lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a gynecological ultrasound examination at the hospital to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment. In daily life, it is important to drink more water and pay attention to personal hygiene.
