Patient's question:
Please ask the expert: My mother is 67 years old this year. She recently had sudden lower back pain and was unable to get up. Later, a CT scan revealed a herniated disc in her lower back. After traction and other treatments, her condition improved slightly. Due to abdominal pain, an ultrasound examination showed a 130mmx90mm mass on the posterior wall of the uterus, accompanied by swollen inguinal lymph nodes and a hard subcutaneous lump from the upper thigh to the knee on the left side, without obvious redness or swelling. There is also swelling in the left foot. After intravenous fluid treatment for inflammation and the use of magnesium sulfate hot compresses, the lump on the thigh has significantly reduced in size. Please ask the expert, is this phenomenon a malignant tumor of the uterus? How should it be treated, cared for, and managed in terms of diet?Doctor's answer:
First and foremost, it is essential to diagnose the type of illness and determine whether it is a malignant tumor. The most critical aspect is pathological evidence. Currently, it is recommended to undergo a biopsy of the lump at a local oncology hospital or a Grade III-A hospital. After the disease is diagnosed, a treatment plan will be formulated based on the type, location, size, stage of the tumor, as well as the patient's overall condition.If you need assistance, you are welcome to call the special consultation hotline for tumor experts provided above or fax the patient's detailed medical records.
