Patient's question:
Medical history: Uterine fibroidsPrevious diagnosis and treatment history and outcomes: On October 27, a 5 cm uterine fibroid was detected. Please ask if surgery is required.
Doctor's answer:
Uterine fibroids are the most common benign tumors of the female reproductive organs. Uterine fibroids can present with clinical manifestations such as excessive menstrual bleeding, a lower abdominal mass, or difficulty urinating and defecating. In women over 35, approximately 20% suffer from uterine fibroids. However, since this tumor develops slowly and shows no clinical symptoms, it does not require treatment. If the uterus is smaller than 5 cm, there are no obvious symptoms, and the tumor is slow-growing, surgery is unnecessary. In daily life, it is important to regulate emotions, avoid excessive anger, sorrow, overthinking, and excessive worry. Strive to be content and happy, maintain a cheerful and open-minded personality, and avoid overexertion. This helps to balance the five internal organs, ensure smooth Qi flow, promote harmonious blood circulation, and prevent the occurrence of various diseases. Additionally, patients should focus on regulating sexual activity to prevent damage to kidney Qi and worsening of the condition. They should also pay attention to sexual hygiene and maintain clean external genitalia to prevent external pathogens from invading, turning into internal heat, stagnating Qi and blood, and exacerbating the condition.
