Patient's question:
Symptom Description: Sometimes there is a feeling of heaviness in the abdomen. Past illness, treatment history, and effectiveness: Not treated... Desired help: I want the doctor to give some advice on how to treat it.Doctor's answer:
Hello, normal adult women, the size of the uterus is as follows: longitudinal diameter 5.5-7.5 cm, anteroposterior diameter 3.0-4.0 cm, transverse diameter 4.5-5.5 cm, and wall thickness 2-3 cm. Uterine hypertrophy refers to a disease characterized by uniform enlargement of the uterus, with the muscular layer thickness exceeding 2.5 cm, accompanied by varying degrees of uterine bleeding. In multiparous women, excessive menstruation and consistent uterine enlargement, with normal or thickened endometrium, occasionally presenting as polypoid, but most pathological examinations showing normal results and a few showing hyperplasia, can be diagnosed as uterine hypertrophy. Chinese medicine treatment can control excessive menstruation and improve overall health; androgen treatment can reduce blood loss. For those who do not respond to conservative treatment, total hysterectomy can be considered.
