Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: Found a uterine fibroid 2 years ago, which has not improved. Another fibroid has developed into two.Currently, no treatment has been received.
Is there any other treatment option besides surgery and cryotherapy for my condition? What should I pay attention to during treatment? Are there any dietary restrictions? No suitable dietary plan available. Thank you.
Doctor's answer:
??????Hello! Attention should be paid to uterine fibroids: (1) Prevent excessive fatigue, especially during menstruation, pay attention to rest (2) Eat more vegetables and fruits, eat less spicy food (3) Keep the external genitalia clean and dry, underwear should be loose, if there is too much leukorrhea, pay attention to rinse the external genitalia at any time (4) After being diagnosed with uterine fibroids, you should go to the hospital for examination every month: if the fibroid grows slowly or does not grow, you can review once every half year; if the growth is significant, surgical treatment should be considered to avoid severe bleeding or compression of abdominal organs (5) Avoid getting pregnant again. Women with uterine fibroids often have poor uterine recovery after artificial abortion, which can cause prolonged bleeding or chronic reproductive tract inflammation (6) If the menstrual volume is too much, eat more foods rich in iron to prevent iron deficiency anemia (7) Do not take extra estrogen, especially after menopause, to avoid the growth of uterine fibroids (8) If it is necessary to retain fertility but must undergo surgery, fibroid enucleation can be used.
