Patient's question:
In 2008, I had surgery. In 2012, it recurred. There was a 7733mm cyst in the right adnexa. I had been to Zhongshan Hospital and Huli Hospital for check-ups. The doctor recommended surgery, but since I had already undergone surgery once, I didn't want to have another one. Later, I started taking traditional Chinese medicine under the guidance of Dr. Wang Yanhui at Xiamen University Hospital. I have been taking it for over two months, but I haven't been able to get an appointment for a follow-up check-up.Doctor's answer:
Generally, uterine fibroids smaller than 5 centimeters that do not cause frequent menstruation or excessive menstrual flow do not require surgery. Guaizhi-Fuling Pill can be taken orally for treatment. After menopause, small uterine fibroids may shrink and disappear on their own. If the fibroids are larger than 5 centimeters and accompanied by symptoms, surgical treatment is necessary.The presence of uterine fibroids not only affects a patient's health but also can lead to gynecological diseases. Therefore, it is best to visit a gynecology department in the hospital for a gynecological examination. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. In daily life, dietary adjustments should be made, focusing on light and easily digestible foods. Spicy, irritating, and cold foods should be avoided.
