Patient's question:
I am currently 50 years old. Since last year, I have been experiencing excessive menstruation. In March of this year during a gynecological examination, a fibroid of 0.1 cm was found. Please advise on how to treat it.Doctor's answer:
Generally, for small uterine fibroids (<3cm), if there are no symptoms, observation and close follow-up can be adopted, with B reexamination every 3-6 months. Clinically, a fibroid size of 5cm is usually considered a surgical indication. However, for those who wish to conceive, a fibroid size of 3cm may also be considered a surgical indication. The occurrence of uterine fibroids not only affects women's health but also leads to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to have a B examination in the gynecology department of a hospital, identify the cause, and then receive symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to dietary regulation in daily life, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods.
