Patient's question:
My mother was diagnosed with uterine fibroids, with a diameter of 1.6 cm. She usually doesn't have any pain symptoms, and we want to treat it early. Could you please tell me what precautions to take and what medications can be taken? Could you recommend a few effective medications, please? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of uterine fibroids depends on the patient's age, fertility requirements, symptoms, the size, location, number of fibroids, and the patient's overall health condition. If the fibroids are small and asymptomatic, especially in women nearing menopause with low sex hormone levels, the fibroids may shrink or gradually disappear on their own. Follow-up every 3-6 months is recommended. If the fibroids continue to grow or if significant symptoms appear, further treatment should be considered.
